WEA Applauds US Sanctions on Sudan, Urges Multinational Action

The International Director of World Evangelical Alliance, Geoff Tunnicliffe has responded to US President George Bush's announcement for sanctions on Sudan on Tuesday to help put an end to the conflict in the country's Darfur region.

Experts say more than 400,000 people have died and 2.5 million displaced since fighting broke out in 2003.

"We applaud the US decision to impose unilateral sanctions on Sudan," said Tunnicliffe. "However, strong words also must be backed up with immediate action."
