Despite this progress, including increasing levels of LRA defections, some policy makers in the Obama Administration are considering ending the U.S. advisors’ mission.

It is time for the U.S. Government to do more and put an end to these atrocities.
Ten years since the beginning of crimes in the Darfur region of Sudan that the U.S. government found to constitute genocide, violence and aid restrictions exist in multiple locations throughout the country. An estimated 130,000 people have been newly displaced in the first months of 2013 alone. Continued aerial bombardment of civilian areas of South Kordofan and Blue Nile states, as well as blocking of humanitarian relief by the Government of Sudan, has led to over 900,000 Sudanese in dire need of humanitarian aid.
