42. As the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games approach, activists are taking the
opportunity to urge China to use its unique influence to help end the
violence in Darfur. As Sudan’s valued economic partner, arms supplier
and ally, China can pressure Khartoum to end its military campaign,
honor its commitments and accept international peacekeepers.
In August 2007, Ruth Messinger and Mia Farrow helped to launch
Dream for Darfur’s symbolic torch relay calling on China to use its
influence constructively. Starting on the Chad-Darfur border, the torch
traveled to Kigali, Rwanda before continuing to Armenia and other
historic sites of genocide.
