POPSSudan: African Celebrities Appeal to Heads of State on Darfur "It would be a defining moment for the African Union to act first without waiting for the United Nations or Western governments." "The Darfur tragedy is the perfect opportunity for African leaders to show the kind of leadership they demonstrated when they stood firm and made huge sacrifices to fight the apartheid regime of South Africa. They have the backing of all individuals, institutions and governments that are committed to the sanctity of human rights and human life." signed by: Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, South Africa Baba Maal, Musician, Senegal Angelique Kidjo, Musician, Benin Emmanual Jal, Rap Artist, Sudan Chimande Adichie, Writer, Nigeria Tegla Loroupe, Athlete, Kenya Rachid Taha, Musician, Algeria Mohamed Mounir, Musician, Egypt
