They received as much rain in 2 days in 1978 as they were projected to receive for the next 3 years. That damaged. as you can imagine. the very fragile infrastructure there and their wheat production has been decreased. It is all compounded by a refugee problem. Close to 1 million men. women and children have come into Sudan recently from Uganda. from Chad. from Ethiopia. Let me remind you that Sudan is a country that has a per capita income of $236 per year. The refugee problem is a drastic drain on already scarce resources there and we need to help them. The needs of the Sudan are tremendous and an additional $10 million will only solve a small part of the problem. But it is absolutely critical for the United States to clearly demonstrate its commitment to Sudan.
