The incoming Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee has blasted the Biden Admnin for waiting until just 13 days before their term ends to declare atrocities in Sudan’s war as genocide.

On September 9, 2004, then-Secretary of State Colin Powell appeared before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to deliver much-anticipated testimony on the crisis in Sudan’s western region of Darfur. Eighteen minutes into his remarks, he became the first executive branch official in U.S. history to declare an ongoing conflict a “genocide.”

UK refuses to follow US lead declaring genocide in Sudan - Foreign Office minister Anneliese Dodds said the UK Government’s position would be based on the International Criminal Court’s determination.
