Additional Information
In response to the release of the Darfur scorecard, Sen. Kennedy said: “The continuing genocide in Darfur is a stain on all humanity and needs to be addressed at once on an urgent basis. As many as 400,000 men, women, and children have died, and over two million more have been displaced by the vicious attacks and ongoing brutalities. It¹s long past time for the United States, NATO and the United Nations to take effective steps to halt this massive tragedy.”
