President Barack Obama says the crisis in Darfur is not going to be easy to solve, but he says the United States can speak with one moral voice to address the humanitarian problems.
Obama said Monday that his special envoy to Sudan, J. Scott Gration (GRAY-shun), would speak with the full authority of Washington. Obama says the Darfur region of western Sudan is going through a crisis and the factions must end their fighting.
Obama says it’s going to be a tough haul, but one that the United States must make. He wished Gration luck at the end of their meeting in the White House’s Roosevelt Room.
Gration heads to the region Tuesday.
