there's been a surge in killing in darfur. you asked me what the secession has meant for darfur. it's meant that the world's attention has been on south sudan, and in that media vacuum there is once more an enormous surge in the killing that's going on in darfur. bear in mind that there's a large part of darfur we have no idea what's happening because the sudanese government has kept the media out, and it's either kept humanitarian groups out, or it's impeded their work so much or scared them so much that they don't say anything. i fear, a humanitarian aid worker said to me recently one day we're going to find mass graves across parts of darfur where we never got to. just since january 2010 we reckon there have been 266 bombing raids on darfur creating scenes like this. almost no media attention whatsoever. i have here 35 pages of detailed reports of attacks on communities in daughter you are the if, the system -- in darfur, the systematic rape of women, the killing of men and children. and it's getting almost no attention whatsoever. but that's the consequence of our attention o

was signed, they start war in darfur. and also know when the south ceased, they started war in the nuba mountains. this is the type of government we have been dealing with for over 20 years. this government is just killing people. their own people. and people continue to engage. peace will be broken. we are not alone calling for the international community to help us but all the people in the world like here we have the petition of our -- over half million of the people around the world, they are striving and calling for the stop and ethnic cleansing in the nuba mountains. so we are calling for really action in the region of the nuba mountains and other marginalized areas. thank you. >> bishop, thank you very much for your testimony and for your urgent appeal to the united states and the world, the intent of the community to respond and to do so immediately. >> chairman smith, ranking member payne and members of the subcommittee, thank you very much for inviting me to testify at this emergency hearing on the current crisi

they are wanted for the crimes in darfur. they are the same people, and the war is running after them. we signed peace in other part of the region, like in south sudan, when the agreement was signed, they start war in darfur, and also when south sudan was seized, they set war in nuba mountains. these are the types of government we are are dealing with for over 20 years. this government is just killing people, their own people, and people continue to engage in peace, and it will be broken. we are not alone calling for the international community to help us, but all the people in the world, like here we have the petition. over half million of the people around the world, they are striving and are calling for the stop and ritual ethnic cleansing in nuba mountains, so we are calling for really action in the region of nuba mountains and other marginalized areas. thank you. >> bishop, thank you very much for your testimony and for your urgent appeal to the united states and the world, the international community to respond and to d

about darfur in the mid- 1990s's. rather, the early 2000's. he reminded me of mr. milosevic and other dictators. there's something psychologically wrong with these individuals. even though they are involved in a state, they convey a cult legitimacy that is undeserving. throughout history, dictators have committed huge and terrific of atrocities. they are going on right now. we invited the state department and u.s. a id. we stand ready to reconvene at the drop of a hat. mr. payne and i will get back in here from our own and ministration. that said . >> let me thank you again for your many years of passionate support. it is good to have a newcomer to bring into the team, ms. berle. berkle. the only thing we agreed on in congress was sudan. tom tancredo went with me to south sudan. we stayed in tents and with samaritans and i tell them that's what a joke. he did not know since he was never. he found out later that this was different. he and senator brown back were were very supportive. senator frist and now senator cohen has expressed strong interest rate will continu

i met with major jumbo from king from kenya in darfur. he said he had the same interior mandate there as in sarajevo. it was not robust enough to protect innocent civilians. we need to help the african union and make sure they have the right material and mandate. that goes to the u.n. security council. >> americans may ask what that means in terms of dollars and resources we would have to contribute. >> it is a fraction of the numbers we're talking about. the cbo has estimated by 2021, the interest on the federal debt will be over $1 trillion per year. $48 milliong about in 2011 to feed the simoleons plus another $76 million for refugees. it is so small. it is so small compared to the rest of the budget. it is $40 million. that number will go up. it will not go up substantially. >> is it $48 million because u.s. aid came down almost 90% after al-shabab was listed as a terrorist organization? aid groups got concerned about working in an area where they could face prosecution for enriching or aiding a terrorist organization. usaid came down

and definitely in darfur. but the most important for you, for us, i think it is critical that the emerging or the continued leadership in northern sudan -- going the radical elements coming and the nuba government and directing the -- echoing -- now they have -- sudan, only having two elements, muslims and arabs. you can see emerging in that country, in northern sudan. personally, i feel what is happening in southern kordofan is not only ethnic cleansings a you have put, it is indeed a crime against humanity. i put it in that context because it would help us to focus more. it is about the people and about the conditions of the land. i came 10 days ago from a -- area and i saw the atrocities affecting the people. two months ago, 100,000 people got displaced and when i saw them again, no shelter. children are dying. because of one african in khartoum. but i feel also with this statement also in northern sudan, it is critical for -- to look for the opportunities in sudan. these are the only credible political par

they are the same people that did the crimes in darfur. we create these in another part of the region like in southern sudan when the cpa was signed in they started a war in darfur. also now there is also were nuba mountains. this is the type of government we have been dealing with for over 20 years. this is a government that is killing its own people and people are engaged and assigning a piece will be broken. we are not alone calling for the international community to help us but all the people in the world. here we have the petition. over a half million of the people around the world are calling for a stop to the brutal ethnic cleansing in nuba mountain. so we are calling for action in the region of nuba mountains and other marginalized areas. thank you. >> the ship, thank you very much for your testimony and for your urgent appeal to the united states and the world. the community to respond and to do so immediately. mr. phillips. >> chairman smith, ranking member pain and members of the subcommittee, thank you very much for inviting me

hague the international court is very much involved in what's going to happen when they capture to darfur which i have no doubt they will so does that mean the people of libya are going to decide his fate i don't really think so i think the international court's going to decide his fate and i sound a little cynical when i say this i think maybe his trial and maybe punishment execution life in prison may be in libya to make it look like the libyan people or are deciding his fate. we'll be bringing you more expert opinion on developments in libya and also this hour for you in our front here. toward the border where people fear the internal conflict is already spilling into tunisia plus. this is what's left from the offices and. how much it was attacked by three mistruths operates in here shortly before. the six. party tour of the country which many believe is following it maybe as footsteps our special report on the aftermath of the military operation in the syrian city of hama is coming up later this hour. russian foreign minister sergei lavrov says there could have been a less bloody reso
