We must help create sustainable peace in strife-torn regions of Africa for our own national security, the stability of Africa, and the well-being of millions.

Somalia

I am deeply concerned about the recent dramatic escalation of violence and increasing levels of instability in Somalia. I traveled to the Horn of Africa in November 2006 to better understand the rapidly deteriorating conditions in Somalia and meet with senior government officials in Kenya and Ethiopia. In 2006, I introduced legislation – recently signed by the President – that requires the development of a comprehensive stabilization and reconstruction strategy for Somalia.

Darfur

We need to bring an end to violence in Darfur that has taken more than 200,000 lives and forced an estimated 2.5 million Darfurians from their homes. I was the first Senator to speak from the Senate floor about the crisis in Darfur in March 2004. We must support a robust United Nations peacekeeping mission in Darfur and empower the President’s Special Envoy to Sudan. We should impose targeted sanctions, as well as financial and travel restrictions, on groups and individuals that are accused of violating international law and continue to threaten stability in Darfur and the region.
