we are not going to allow people to be killed and murdered simply because their skin is black--Rep. Payne
I had the opportunity to interview New Jersey Congressman Donald Payne, who is next in line to chair the subcommittee on Africa and Human Rights in the new Democratic Congress. For the millions of people in the Darfur region of the Sudan, Congressman Payne's chairmanship can't come soon enough. As you know, all hell is broken loose in Darfur. It's a full-blown genocide, a humanitarian crisis of epic proportions. Donald Payne promises to make the genocide in Darfur a top priority. He has some bold ideas to end the dying as well as the smarts (and the foreign policy chops) to address Darfur head on. And pretty soon, he'll most likely have the clout as well. So check out the interview and see for yourself why Congressman Payne is out last best hope to break the current cycle of genodice in Darfur.
(the really juicy stuff is below the fold)
