South Carolinians will rally at the State House on Oct. 6 at 2pm to bring attention to the genocide in Darfur. The event is organized by the SC Darfur Action Group, which hopes that a rally will raise the issue of US funding for an African peace keeping force in Darfur in the presidential debates. They are taking advantage of the spotlight on South Carolina because of the early primaries here.

The US supported a UN Security Council resolution to urgently mobilize the force, but has not come through with anticipated funding.
