Why should Nebraska pass targeted Sudan divestment legislation?
Nebraska was the first state to pass divestment legislation from South Africa during the apartheid, helping bring an end to the rights-repressive regime. Nebraska has a similar opportunity to make a difference in Darfur with the passage of a targeted Sudan divestment bill. Divesting Nebraska public monies from Sudan limits the Sudanese government’s ability to carry out the genocide and pressures the international community to contribute to the peacekeeping mission in Sudan.
