The Administration's Recent Shift Towards Sudan

Today, I joined several of my colleagues to condemn the Bush Administration’s recent shift in policy towards Sudan.

I am proud that the United States was one of the largest international humanitarian and peacekeeping supporters in Sudan and Darfur, but the recent actions by the Administration are completely unacceptable.

The United States should not be meeting with Nafi Ali Nafi, the man responsible for many of Sudan’s domestic atrocities and a link to international terrorism. Meetings like this send the wrong message to the international community and terrorist organizations.

I will continue to condemn these actions and speak out for the oppressed people of Sudan and Darfur while in Congress.
