mr. phillips? >> chairman smith, members of the committee, thank you for inviting know testify in this hearing on the republic of sudan. my name is brad phillips and i'm here on behalf of two organizations that have a relatively long history working in sudan. first is persecution project and second is voice of the martyrs. much of the emphasis has been on sudan for the last decade. my very first trip to sudan brought me to the nuba mountains after reading the reports of the genocide that was happening there, alex had written reports, i had heard about the extermination of more than half of the nuba population and so that was my first introduction to sudan, and at that time, as was with my most recent visit, there were bombings going on every day that was part of an ariel campaign of terror against civilians. mr. chairman, i realize that you and your colleagues are only now concluding a very busy time concerning the recent debate on raising the debt ceiling so i'm extremely grateful that you have ta
