i started covering darfur in august of 2004 because i needed a break from iraq and i went into darfur. and in 2006 i was working with lydia polgreen who is an incredible correspondent for "the new york times." and we were trying to get into darfur, is so we went to chad because the sudanese government wouldn't give visas easily to journalists. they didn't want journalists seeing what was happening. so we went to chad. and while we were there, we heard there had been a massacre of sudanese government soldiers, many of whom were conscripted from south sudan. and in order to report on it, we had to actually see that had happened. so we went to a group of rebel, we went to the border with darfur, we were in chad and we said, hey, can you take us across the border, and they said well, the there are russian aircraft flying overhead, and it's possible the government will bomb if they see people going over the the site. and we said well, we have to go there if we want to report on what happened. and president bashir, the sudanese president was denying it. he was saying absolutely no soldiers

we see examples of holocaust survivors who are active to stop the genocide in darfur or engaged in antiwar protests or civil rights movements. it is not just survivors who show this kind of response. this can also be members of the social group to identify with their groups collective experience and become particularly motivated to prevent violence in the present. charlie: so you're suggesting there are different ways of coping and responding to trauma. johanna: exactly, but both basically restore a sense of agency, sense of control that was lost in the violent experience. human beings have a need to restore this shattered sense of agency and control. one way to do this is to show dominance and aggression. the other is to prevent violence from occurring. both have a kind of positive effect. eric: in the jewish community, holocaust survivor elie weisel has been instrumental in setting up the holocaust memorial in washington, but has also interfered in a number of genocide situations to protect the people being attacked, even though that had nothing to do with his initial experience. very mu

she was an international aide worker who went all around the globe including darfur, israel, france and wound up in isaiah and kidnapped in aufg 2013. today friends herremembered her as the ultimate good samaritan. senator mccain called her an extraordinary young woman and powerful example to follow. listen to mccain on the senate floor back in february. >> kayla explained to her family her call to service this way. she said i find god in the suffering, eyes reflected in mine. if this is how you are revealed to me, this is how i will forever seek you. >> mueller wound up in syria with her syrian boyfriend. he was released by isis after they were both kidnapped together while she remained in captivity. authorities confirmed her death on february 10th of this year. isis claimed that she died in a jor dane yap air strike, but the united states has never confirmed that. before she died her cell mates actually were released and smuggled a letter to her parents and it says this is from kayla, it says i pray each day that if nothing else, you have felt a certain closeness and sun remember deny

power to protect innocents that are being slaughtered in places like the central african republic darfur and against israel. how can madeleine albright say that when the immediate successor to susan rice ambassador samantha power quotes susan rice as saying in a national security meeting in 1994 that we cannot label rwanda a genocide because it will affect democrats in the midterm elections? that is a historical fact and the reason those pictures are there, those are skulls from a church in rwanda just outside the capital. i was in that church. 800,000 people were hacked to death and the united states did nothing. we have to begin to intervene in genocides. god gave us this military power and all of these resources in order to protect african children who are being hacked to death and in the middle east or anywhere else that is our responsibility. >> are you at all surprised by a reaction by these organizations, the american jewish committee, the antidefamation league and all speaking out against this. did you expect support in this? >> our organization doesn't have our principles and co

the united nations reports nearly half a million people were displaced from the darfur region of western sudan last year, the largest amount in a decade. the u.n. blames the uptick in violence on the sudanese government and government allied forces, which have ways to campaign against rebels and are for instance 2003. an estimated 300,000 people have been killed since 2003, when the sudanese president omar al-bashir has faced accusations of genocide and crimes against humanity, but the international criminal court suspended its probe in december. bashir seeks re-election next month to extend his 25-year rule. liberia has finished treating its last ebola patient, as the world health organization announced the country has gone a week without any new cases, for the first time in 10 months. health officials warn the fight is still not over, since a fresh outbreak could still erupt. sierra leone and guinea meanwhile, reported a combined total of 132 new ebola cases last week. in total, the record outbreak has killed nearly 10,000 people and infected nearly 24,000. attorneys for the family of

very rich individuals that you can have actresses who want to hire blackwater for intervention in darfur. these are all possible. we are possible. we are also seeing companies come out of places like uganda and south africa. recently for example nigeria is reported to have hired 300 private military contractors in its -- for boko haram in south africa. security can generate its own demand. mercenaries demand 5000 pounds of gold this month and we will be back next month. out of work mercenaries can create wars. they can elongate worse. they can become bandits. this is a problem. we are also seeing proliferation out of four of the five demand worse. we have seen land private security companies but we are seeing private babies up with coast of new guinea. they have arsenal ships with contractors and armaments and they will fly to a tanker and they will harden a tanker with wire is a tanker moves the waters and want to stop the powered waters the contractors returned to the mothership. contractors are also eight x. -- experimenting with drums and easily turning them into, cause he drums. the

so we see examples of holocaust survivors who are active to stop the genocide in darfur or in earlier decades in anti-war protests. and interestingly this also occurs transgen rationally so it is not just direct survivors who show this kind of response, but it can also be members of the social group who identify with their groups' collective experience of victimization and also become particularly motivated to prevent violence in the present. >> rose: so you are suggesting the dichb ways of responding, of coping with trauma. >> exactly. these are two twit distinct ways of coping with trauma but what they have in common and what works in terms of the coping mechanism is that both basically restore a sense of agency a sense of control that was lost through the traumatic experience of violence. human beings have the need to restore in shattered sense of agency and control. and one way to do this is to show aggression and dominate others. the other way to do this is to help others and to prevent similar instances-- instances of violence from occurring. so both have that kind of positive a

in the past administration, susan rice, did not find the duty to protect and are for syria -- in darfur, syria, and in the case of susan rice rwanda. now today, because of the duty to protect, secretary gates says there is no security threat from gaddafi, now we have isis. these are just examples of this serial shambles that this couple has brought. doesn't this indicate, that hillary, when this unravels like watergate, that she will probably withdraw her bid? guest: i do not see her deciding not to run for president. i think her record as secretary of state is not as stellar or pristine or protected from political attack as democrats might have hoped. i think there is a lot for republicans to pick through. whether it sticks, we do not know. even though democrats take issue with the benghazi investigation, there is a chance there is a lot more for republicans to uncover, depending on whether the house committee can accomplish it. it is not an easy race for her by any stretch if she runs. it does not appear to be a democrat with real have to or political basis to support who is intereste

many people characterized darfur as a slow burn situation for a long period of time. but clearly was recognized as ans a troys it case. and one that -- as an atrocity case and one that deserves attention. in the case of burma the a.p.b. is very well aware of the ro hingea issue and has been monitoring that and i think it's also very well aware that burma has elections coming up later this year. so the issue i think that we will be looking at is how those do or do not intersect. there are many different forms in which elections can trigger violence. whether you're talking about burma or nigeria, the underlying conflicts that have the potential to spark very enormously throughout both countries, but elections are often a precipitating factor. i think the answer to your question, simply put, is that there's no distinction made. but that the prioritization process tends to put the interagency focus on precipitating events that we have reason to believe will spark underlying potential atrocities. questioner: tom miller. i appreciated your opening remarks. if i asked to you
