Mikulski Gets an ‘A' for Commitment to Darfur

Senator Barbara A. Mikulski (D-Md.) was recognized today for her strong support of aggressive U.S. action in the Darfur region of Sudan, receiving an ‘A' grade on a congressional scorecard from the Genocide Intervention Network.

"The United States can not stand idly by while the people of Darfur continue to suffer. We need a Special Envoy dedicated to building a peace plan for Sudan that will halt the violence, ensure the return of refugees, and establish a system of accountability," said Senator Mikulski. "I am outraged that the Khartoum regime is supporting another campaign of killing and committing other atrocities. I will continue to fight in the U.S. Senate for the people of Darfur to find the peace they deserve."
