From the Rep. Steve Chabot e-newsletter:
The House of Representatives passed a bipartisan resolution sponsored by Congressman Chabot condemning recent fatal attacks on United Nations-African Union peacekeepers in the Darfur region of Sudan.
The resolution also expresses support for the UN-AU peacekeepers and the UNAMID mission, as well as condolences to the families of those killed and wounded in the attacks and a renewed commitment to helping the refugees in Darfur. It calls upon the Sudanese government to ensure that those responsible are brought to justice and urges the international community to contribute the resources necessary to ensure the success of the mission.
Last August, Congressman Chabot traveled to Darfur to assess the ongoing humanitarian crisis and view the refugee camps in Sudan.
Darfur is another one of those pesky little issues that just isn't going anyway any time soon. At some point, somebody is going to have to do something... The only question is whether or not it will take 12 years and 17 resolutions before that happens.
