I rise today to express my strong support for H. Res.. 1011. which calls on the United States and the international community to develop. fund. and implement a regional strategy which addresses the security and humanitarian crisis in Chad. the Darfur region of the Sudan. and the northern region of the Central African Republic. This timely and important legislation. of which I am proud to be a cosponsor. not only calls on the Governments of Chad and the Central African Republic to fulfill their obligations under international law to protect civilians. but also calls upon the President of the United States to continue humanitarian assistance to refugees and internally displaced persons in the region. Chad has been plagued by intermittent conflict. both internally and with its neighbors. since it gained independence in 1960. The current President of Chad.
