Targeted Divestment From Sudan

 

The Sudanese government depends on foreign investment to fund its genocidal campaign in Darfur. Revenue from Sudan's booming oil industry, for example, has been used to purchase or produce the military equipment Sudan uses against its own citizens.

Since 1997, U.S. sanctions have prevented U.S.-owned companies from doing business in Sudan, but many U.S. companies, mutual funds and individuals are invested in foreign companies who operate there. Targeted divestment focuses on the worst offending companies (generally in the oil, energy, mineral extraction or weapons industries) conducting business with Sudan.

Divest Yourself

Ensure that your personal investments are not inadvertently helping to fund the government of Sudan's war against the people of Darfur.
