Right now they are expecting that starvation is
going to impact hundreds of thousands of women and children. This is a
picture of a woman and her child walking by the dead goats that would
be the source of their livelihood because there is no water. As I close my remarks, I call upon this Congress and I call upon this
President to get the wheels back on the White House and begin to
recognize that America has always been the comforter in receiving
refugees, and it has always been a friend of the continent of Africa. There are Members of Congress who have gone to Africa in times of need,
but we have also worked with the administration, from George Bush to
Bill Clinton, to Barack Obama and many others, who recognized that we
are connected to the continent of Africa by the very slaves who were
brought here. Let us fight for Somalia to survive.
