The mission requires 18 troopcarrying helicopters and six armored attack helicopters. So far. they have none. U.N. officials say they could have responded to last months attack if they had the right equipment. Mr. Speaker. why havent the United States and our Western European allies provided these helicopters to the U.N.AU peacekeeping mission? Why arent we working collectively and with Russia and China to make sure this force has the helicopters. equipment. manpower and funding necessary to protect the people in Darfur and the refugees? Why hasnt the U.N. Security Council called an emergency session and targeted new sanctions at Sudans highest officials. including President Bashir?
