Now I understand. This genocide In Darfur was declared by our Government years ago and little or nothing has been done. Last week. the United Nations World Food Programme did launch a highly complex operation to try to bring in emergency food supplies to the over 2.600 refugees from Darfur who recently crossed into the remote northeast corner of the Central African Republic. The Director of the World Food Programme and the Central African Republic. JeanCharles Dei. said the following: These people are in one of the least accessible regions in the world. but they need help now. This is just the latest example of how the conflict in Darfur has a destabilizing effect across the region. It is certainly positive that food is on the way to these starving refugees. but the need for this airlift is symbolic of how bad the crisis has become and how destabilizing the situation is becoming for the whole region. The United States and civilized nations around the world who acknowledge this genocide and this humanitarian disaster must act. What can we do in the Senate?
