sacrificing darfur to the cpa. in fact, there's a good deal of interaction in sudan between the two. there has to be peace in both places for sudan north and south to succeed. i'm not the expert on darfur, but i know that work is under way to try and bring peace to strengthen unament, to increase access for the humanitarian organizations and bob all, to get a credible peace process. and i'm sure generalgration would be happy to brief you on all of that. let me conclude on one important issue raised by congressman smith, and that is the condition and the future for the southerners living in northern sudan. there's quite a few, as you know. stims of as many as 1.5 million. since the beginning of the cpa in 2005, 330,000 people very returned to south sudan. just since last august, 150,000 have returned. and more are returning all the time. what we found was that the process was erratic, not very well planned and the states in the southern part of sudan not prepared to receive them or get them to places where they coul

it to darfur.n principal and theory, it is good. but if we look at it conceptually, it is very questionable. and i don't think it is a strategy that it will bring a lasting peace in darfur. because if it is to bring lasting peace in darfur, then the elections could have, should have been a fair elections where they were presented in the counsel of the three states are two representatives. now it is a strategy put by the government to be discussed by the legislative states of the council of the three states which is actually the government, but the three governments, which is actually the government, but the tribal leaders who are corrupted by the government. so this is the government. it is the government with the government with the government, i don't know where the rebel groups and the rest of the darfur people. i think the african union high implementation plan now they are advocating for let's go since doha is not going. i think the americans have the approach that we go for the darfur forum,

darfur canno be serated.shldot rshtogi nets the nine neighbors in china have t been hpf, but we've reached a tipping point where they see separation is going to happen. they have been helpful, butan do more. the administration tried to encourage it. they should. there's an enormous development challenge, but it has to have burden sharing in the european union and others have to increase the paicipation. i am cncerned about a process that begins in a litany of incentives before performance, before specific agreements, before verification mechanisms are put in place, before there's monitored results. as ronald reagan used to say, trust but verify. i am concerned about it, and i fear once again the pseudothese people will be denied what they deserve. thank you. >> thank you. mr. isael. >> thank you to the team members of your committee. i'll get down to it. the united states has a crucial role to play in establishing peace and stability in sudan from this moment forward. the southerners have come out. they count

he's now bombing and attacking villages in darfur. he wants to be taken off, well, he's going to have to do a lot better than that. there's a lot of consequences that we can offer -- there is a lot of things that we can offer, certainly not the icc, i wouldn't -- i don't think that should even be on the table, but the terror watch list is one that they'd like to be off, well, you're going to have to act a lot more legitimately than you have to date. >> very briefly, because we only have a minute left, i want to get both of your thoughts on president obama when he ran for president campaigned on ending the genocide in sudan and getting tough with the government in khartoum. very briefly, george and then john, has president obama kept his promise? >> yes, he has. it's been -- it's a tough one to keep, you know. there's -- it's a very complicated situation. it is going to get a lot more complicated. we met with the president. the president seems to be very much on top of the issue. and we want to make sure -- our job is to keep the press

the issue of darfur is more complicated and that remains a very top priority for the united states. >> rose: more complicated in terms of the cooperation? >> more complicated in terms of chinese interest and cooperion. because on darfur, china has put into view our concern about halting crimes and atrocities and genocide, ending the conflict, protecting civilians as at least bordering on their allergy to interference in the internal affairs of other countries. and so there is a bit more friction on occasion, less of late than, say, two or three years ago, with china on how to approach the issue in darfur. we all agree that the killing has to stop. we allgree that the n.-- which has a large peacekeeping force in darfur-- needs to have freedom of access. and we agree on the needs for peace talks. but there's some issue like enforcement of the arms embargo where differences lay. >> rose: it has said the chinese that they're agnostic about the nature of government that they're dealing with. >> we certainly think it's very important that to the greatest extent possible we're dealing with d

be progressively removed if the referendum happen as planned and the civil war i and r four -- in darfur is sorted out. >> he deserves credit together with the members of his government for having moved to this point. they werre were alternatives and they could have been unbelievably costly in terms of life and international engagement over a long time. >> america seems convinced that the referendum will happen on time, relatively peacefully. southerners are certain to vote for independence. they are divided by ethnicity, religion, and culture than southerners see decades of oppression. the successful referendum would not be the end of the story. both sides have to agree on the number of vital issues, including citizenship and the country's vast oil reserves which remain in the south. perhaps for the first time, john kerry and others believe that a peaceful divorce is the most likely outcome. >> thousands of chickens in germany are being cold as the scare over poisoned eggs escalade. up to 3000 toweggs may be contaminated with dioxins. >> german authorities are trying to stop the crisis.

will among with ambassador james smith, the administration's new senior adviser on darfur. ambassador lyman has returned to washington and we hope to have them in a briefing room tomorrow afternoon to give you his firsthand as on the sudan referendum. it is an historic occasion in africa and most importantly for the people of southern sudan, all referendum centers opened on time yesterday and have the necessary materials and train staff. notwithstanding some instances of violence, the atmosphere and polling was orderly and peaceful and there is a robust presence at all polling stations we think it is off to a very, very good start. usaid administrator raj shah has arrived in guatemala for a two-day visit. the project of the trip is to gain a first understanding of the challenges that face guatemala society and to review the usaid response to these critical challenges. go visit usaid programs in the highlands region, home to the majority of guatemala's rural poor and indigenous populations. usaid is working with the government of quantum mullah to implement u.s. presidential

they have been aided and assisted by an ambassador and an ambassador for the darfur issue. i might also say that while we have focused very hard on ensuring the completion of this, we have not taken our eye off of the issue of darfur. we have also in recent months significantly expanded our diplomatic presence throughout southern sudan, placing of very senior officer there and substantially increasing our staff. as these elections move forward over the next several days, we have american officials located in five of the 10 southern states where they have had an opportunity to observe more closely in the voting. we have also had officers traveling to other states to observe the election process. a successful referendum is in the best interests of sudan, of africa, the united states, and the international community, and we are committed to do as much as we can to ensure that the comprehensive peace agreement is fully implemented and that whatever results will lead to a better relationship between the united states and the people of southern sudan as well as the people of suda

darfur as you know was scheduled by the referendum also to start on january 9.it was to be a referendum in which the people of abyei decided whether they wanted to continue to be part of the north, which they are now, or become part of the south. and there was no agreement on voter eligibility. the referendum couldn't be helped. this remains an extremely important sensitive issue to be resolved in the future. this is also a historically tense time within abyei as the migration begins again because the migration has been fully worked out between the dinka and others, there's tension on the ground. some of the files we have seen, some of these clashes is a product of that tension. we are pleased that the government, the dinka, the splm are all working, meeting in abyei today and tomorrow to resolve these issues, bring things under control, work out the arrangements with this years migration, et cetera, and hopefully contain the situation. but the long-term resolution of abyei is a political position that have to be made. and, finally, on the atmosphere, i was visi

also the stability of finding solution to darfur. and also the president versus the whole future of sudan. between brackets and issues, those three fundamental questions need to be asked. we think islamists, if they want to maintain, to continue as a viable political party to play, that's why there is a those divisions within even the current. and i can go further ,-com,-com ma but i can see eyes looking at me. but it's a major, major question so that's what i question here talking about the presentso on. i understand i'm cities. it is about what arethe key issues you want to do in the coming very. possible referendum issues you have to address the full of the other partners to become state. that state has to be separated from the party. are they willing to do that? if not, that will continue to struggle to find a viable lasting peace in sudan. spectacular much. i'm very reluctant to stop in mid-flow. i very much appreciate your analysis. i'm afraid we're pretty much out of time now. do you have anything to add? fair enough. look, i

independece in south sudan would also boost the independence in darfur. especially if there is another opening. perhaps, with this in mind, this of sudanese president has made extensive efforts -- the south sudan president has made extensive efforts. the most powerful of these groups, the justice and equality movement, which launched a raid on the capitol itself, something previously thought impossible. the dispute over a border region, lying along the north- south and border, also has the potential to spike into a civil war. hundreds of local residents were killed in 2008 between forces of the north and south. a separate referendum to be held separately with an independence vote will determine whether abyei joins the north or the south. most are expected to join. the arabs, who pasture there herd's there for most of the year, will be included in the voting. there are few signs the referendum will take place on time. khartoum has said it is necessary. there is new violence in the already war ravaged territory. officials now speak of annexing abyei, but on

the sudanese president still wanted on international criminal court indictment for war crimes in darfur has at times said nothing other than a vote for unity would be acceptable. but other times, he will except whatever outcome is reached. the south has made some of the in strides -- has made significant strides. the peace agreement gave the south the right to maintain its own army. with south sudan spending 50% of its budget on arms since 2005, and you conflict will look different than the one before. battle tanks from ukraine have been obtained, making the south at least equal to the north in terms of armor. this preparation for war has, however, , and a great cost in the oil-producing areas, which obscene little money while there is environmental degradation for the facilities. this could easily lead to internal struggles with in the south. the 10,000 man united nations -- it cannot increase the size of its force without getting the permission of cartoon. they have proven in a sexual -- proving ineffectual will
