Fatima Haroun, a native of west Darfur, was born and raised in Jabel Marra and has become one of the most committed and effective Darfur activists in the United States. The former President of the Darfur Rehabilitation Project, Haroun now serves as the Vice President of the Darfur Alert Coalition. Haroun is also a founding member of the Darfuri Leaders Network (DLN), a coalition of Darfuri organizations around the country. Over the past two years, Haroun has taken part in a DLN initiative to discuss issues for future peace negotiations with the Government of Sudan. Haroun is presently a social worker for the city of Philadelphia and is working to form an organization that raises up the voices of Sudanese women. Haroun reacts to the International Criminal Court’s issuance of an arrest warrant for Sudanese president Omar al-Bashir.
