by leave—I move an amendment that has been circulated in the chamber:

That the Senate—

(a) notes with deep concern the recent escalation of violence in Sudan's Darfur region, including reports of large-scale atrocities, including mass killings, starvation, rapes and other violent crimes;

(b) acknowledges the profound grief and anguish felt by the Sudanese-Australian community, some of whom have lost family members to the violence and fear for the safety of loved ones still missing or detained;

(c) expresses solidarity with all members of the Sudanese-Australian community during this time of fear, mourning and helplessness;

(d) expresses its sincere hope that international partners work urgently and cooperatively to secure humanitarian access, safe passage for civilians and a sustainable peace for Sudan; and

(e) condemns the escalating terror campaign against Christians in Nigeria by Islamic terror organisations Boko Haram, Islamic State of West Africa Province and Fulani Militants which has resulted in more than 20,000 deaths of innocent civilians for their religious beliefs.
