A Rally To Stop Genocide is being organized for April 30, 2006 in Washington, D.C. by the Save Darfur Coalition. George Clooney recently visited Darfur with his father, appeared on Oprah Winfrey, participated in a press conference at the National Press Club and is speaking at the rally. Under the authority of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), President Bush has issued an Executive Order blocking the property of certain persons in connection with the conflict in Sudan’s Darfur region U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice believes the African Union (AU) peacekeeping mission in Sudan's Darfur region is not strong enough and has called on NATO to take on a larger role there.
