LOCAL MP CALLS FOR INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY TO SAVE THE PEOPLE OF DARFUR
Local MP Lynne Featherstone this week backed calls from her party for immediate international action to save the people of Darfur.
At the Liberal Democrat Conference in Brighton, Lynne Featherstone lent her support to the efforts of Susan Kramer, the Party’s International Development Spokesperson, who is highlighting the plight of the two million refugees in western Sudan.
Lynne Featherstone commented:
“Sunday’s Global Day for Darfur protests saw the world demand that the international community act where the Sudanese Government has not. The desperate humanitarian situation in the region is worsening daily.
“Now is the time for us to act decisively. We must not fail the people of Darfur as we failed the people of Rwanda nearly 12 years ago and turn our backs.”
