Lift Sudan Sanctions, They are Oppressing the Poor and Killing Innocent People
The poor and helpless in Sudan are bearing the brunt of the economic sanctions imposed on the country by the United States 23 years ago. The intended goal of the sanctions might have been to weaken the oppressive government of Sudan, but they are producing exactly the opposite result. They are weakening and impoverishing the people of Sudan and strengthening the grip of the regime on the country.
They are depriving the whole nation of basic and life-saving health care (as detailed in a resent article by the Foreign Policy Magazine: http://foreignpolicy.com/2016/01/14/sudan-sanctions-deprive-whole-nation-of-health-care/)
We plead with president Obama to do the right and humane thing by ordering an immediate end to the Sudan sanctions.
