While this Congress continues to slowly legislate on the Darfur genocide. the threat of sanctions has done little to end the atrocities. This dire crisis requires a much more robust response. Our commitment to end the Darfur genocide must be judged by only one test: What are we doing that serves to end the killings and the suffering? The aim should be to end the genocide. disarm the Arab militias. guarantee humanitarian assistance. protect civilians. secure the refugee camps. and provide safety to families returning to their villages. Military experts have estimated that these tasks will require 40.000 to 50.000 welltrained and equipped troops. We also have new and innovative technologies that could protect civilians.
