Madam Speaker. 3 years ago the House declared the si tuation in Darfur a genocide. Since then thousands of people have been killed and 2.5 million displaced. And the situation on the ground grows worse. Attacks against humanitarian workers and African Union peacekeepers are increasing. I was in eastern Chad in April. Over a quarter of a million Darfur refugees live in camps along the ChadSudan border. I talked with many of these men. women. and children. I heard about family members slaughtered. villages burned. children who perished from heat. exhaustion. and hunger in the desperate walk to find safe refuge.
