Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Crisis in Sudan: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Africa of the Committee on International Relations, House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, First Session, March 22, 1995 The subcommittee met, pursuant to call, at 10 a.m., in room 2200, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (chair of the subcommittee) presiding. Ms. Ros-Lehtinen. We are here today to discuss a very tragic situation - an issue marked by the gradual destruction of a culturally and ethnically diverse population. The issue, of course, is the crisis that continues to brew in Sudan. A country rich in people and in resources, Sudan has been unable to realize its potential due to over 40 years of civil strife. Throughout its troubled history, over 1 million people have died and over 2.5 million have been wounded or displaced. Recent years have seen an escalation of this conflict with indiscriminate bombings of civilians and religious persecution, causing an incredible growth of Sudanese fleeing to safety in other countries. Currently, international aid agencies working close to the borders report further increases in the flow of refugees, with 700 to over 2,000 crossing over every week. This is resulting in the spread of disease and pestilence into neighboring areas. Relief workers are also finding it increasingly difficult to maintain stability in the camps and to redistribute their resources to accommodate the new influx of refugees. Observers believe that last year´s Rwandan crisis may pale by comparison if the crisis in Sudan is left uncontrolled. However, the situation poses more than a humanitarian concern to the United States. It poses a very real and potentially imminent threat to U. S. security interests and policy in the region. According to intelligence sources, the Government of Sudan is known to be providing support to insurgency groups in the region, as well as harboring members of international terrorist groups. It allows the existence of terrorist training facilities which prepare these elements for subversive activities against countries in the region - countries with whom the United States maintains friendly relations and which are pivotal to regional balance and stability. Furthermore, this situation is now placing American lives directly in the line of fire, as Sudanese-backed terrorism is being exported to the United States. In fact, 5 of the 11 defendants currently being tried for the bombings in New York are Sudanese. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
