Testimony of John Prendergast Before the House Appropriations Subcommittee for State Foreign Operations

Testimony of John Prendergast Before the House Appropriations Subcommittee for State Foreign Operations
East and central Africa is battered by an arch of chronic conflict that stretches from Somalia to the Democratic Republic of Congo. Congo and Sudan alone account for nearly eight million deaths due to the legacy of war in the past two decades. Although the United States has provided billions of dollars in humanitarian aid, support for peacekeeping missions, and electoral assistance, this aid has not yet succeeded in altering the dynamics that have kept this region dangerously destabilized ...

Testimony of John Prendergast Before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee
The precarious peace between northern and southern Sudan stands at a crucial crossroads.

Testimony of John Prendergast Before the US Commission on International Religious Freedom

Testimony of John Prendergast Before the US Commission on International Religious Freedom

If the CPA unravels, there will be no chance for peace in Darfur, and if Darfur continues to deteriorate, the likelihood increases dramatically of a return to what was—for 20 years—a far more destructive war in the South ...

Congressional Human Rights Caucus Briefing on the Democratic Republic of the Congo
Thank you very much for the opportunity to brief the Caucus on this important and too often neglected topic. Before I begin, I, along with all of my colleagues at ENOUGH, would like to extend our condolences to the family and friends of Congressman Tom Lantos. Congressman Lantos was a tireless advocate for human rights. His passing is a loss not only to those of us working on these issues, but to all of the disenfranchised and oppressed people in the world who have been touched by his leadership and vision ...
