US Envoy to UN Vows Response to Sudan Atrocities

The United States envoy to the United Nations said the U.S. will do "everything in our power to prevent and respond to mass atrocities" during Sudan's war. Linda Thomas-Greenfield made the comment in a Chad border town on Wednesday as she met with Sudanese refugees who had fled ethnic and sexual violence. Thomas-Greenfield compared the current situation with the atrocities committed in Sudan's Darfur region in the early 2000s. "I have to tell you that I was really shaken to my core by some of the horrors that Sudanese people have endured,” the U.S. envoy said.
