Tuesday 27th May, 2008 - Fitzroy Learning Network supported the Melbourne based Sudanese community group, Dinka Ngok Abyei Community Association of Australia, who have lost many family and friends in the past weeks from Abyei, the oil rich point of contention between Northern and Southern Sudan.
They are outraged and shocked at the lack of response from UN forces regarding the latest series of violent attacks in Abyei. Dressed in black, to symbolise their family's deaths over oil, they took to the city streets en-masse and presented to parliament their requests to demilitarise the area and deploy UN forces into Abyei immediately.
"STOP EXTREMIST GOVT. KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE IN SUDANPROVIDE HUMANITARIAN RELIEF NOW
This week we have lost sons & daughters, sisters & brothers, mothers & fathers, husbands & wives. Our families"
