Annie Duke and Omer Ismail Discuss an Inspiring Day on Capitol Hill

Posted by Maggie Fick on July 27, 2009

As Annie Duke noted in her guest blog post today for Enough Said, last week, she joined forces with Enough and Refugees International to meet with members of Congress and urge them to support the Obama administration in a comprehensive approach to ending Sudan’s multiple crises.

In this clip, Annie discusses how inspired she was to see the interest of her elected officials in Sudan, and how it deepened her commitment to continue her activism and fundraising through her organization, Ante Up for Africa.

In this clip, Enough advisor Omer Ismail discusses the international community’s past "piecemeal" responses to the crises in Sudan and why these efforts are inadequate; he also calls for the need for a  "holistic approach" by the Obama administration to build a comprehensive peace in Sudan. The clip starts with Omer mentioning the CPA, shorthand for Sudan’s "Comprehensive Peace Agreement."
