Along with stronger measures by the Chinese Government. the United States must continue in its efforts to end the genocide in Darfur. After threatening more punitive measures for months. the administration must stop talking about what they define as plan B. which is more significant sanctions. and start enacting plan B. If we were stuck in the refugee camps in Darfur in the Sudan. being attacked by the jinjaweit. with our children slaughtered. seeing women raped. who among us would be content with those who counsel patience and delay? Plan Bs tightening sanctions against Sudan. targeting individuals responsible for the atrocious acts. and negotiating a new United Nations Security Council resolution is the right thing to do now. Finally. the fact is. the situation in Darfur is a timebomb that could explode at any moment. The humanitarian crisis has become ever more perilous. As we speak today. the number of dead and displaced persons continues to grow. and women and young girls continue to be raped. The refugee crisis continues to worsen. This year alone. at least 80.000 people in Darfur have spilled into refugee camps. The atrocities against these innocent refugees are no longer contained within Sudan. as refugees spill across borders into eastern Chad and the Central African Republic. The lives of these millions of displaced persons hang in a delicate balance between life and death. The worlds largest humanitarian effort has been keeping that balance from tipping completely toward death.
