During Sen. Hillary Clinton’s confirmation hearing today, she said, “There is a great need for us to sound the alarm again about Darfur. It is a terrible humanitarian crisis compounded by a corrupt and very cruel regime in Khartoum.”
But there is no time to spare as the ICC action looms and Khartoum continues hostile actions against Darfuri civilians. The new administration must be ready to act on Darfur from day one.
A Reuters story on the hearing quoted Save Darfur president Jerry Fowler saying, “Secretary-designate Clinton and the new administration must be prepared to lead on ending the genocide starting next Tuesday and not a day later.”
