All of them commingle in that region. We met. oh. about 50 yards from here on a balcony overlooking the Mall. And as you stood on the balcony there. on a beautiful day in Washington. looking out. you could not help but think of the contrast between what is going on in the homeland of those refugees to the United States from Darfur and that beautiful day looking out upon our monuments and the freedom and liberty for which they stand. That contrast between the turmoil that is going on. as we speak. in Sudan and Americas homeland peace and prosperity were really felt. I have had the opportunity to go to Sudan a number of times. I have talked to the refugees in the border camps. They are along the western border of Sudan and in the country of Chad. which is to the west of the Sudan. There are 12 refugee camps. The refugee camps have anywhere from 8.000 to 20.000 people who are living on a sustenance level. with the aid of NGOs and peoples around the world. in little tents. makeshift tents. but living there. in essence. permanently. There are about 2 million people who have been displaced in the Darfur region and about 200.000 people who have died as a result of brutality which leads back to government sponsorship. We have heard again and again the stories and seen pictures of the villages that are set afire. of the women who are raped. the children who are abducted. recruited to armies. and even many executed.
