               SUDANESE WAR CRIMES AGAINST NUBA CIVILIANS

  (Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, today, thanks to the courageous 
reporting of two journalists for Al Jazeera's English network, Callum 
Macrae and John D. McHugh, who risked their lives to find the truth, we 
have shocking evidence of war crimes committed by the Sudanese Armed 
Forces against Nuba civilians in Sudan's South Kordofan province.
  Here in this photo is a 2-year-old victim of an air strike, and here 
is a bomb crater in the middle of this Nuba village--50-feet wide and 
15-feet deep. Here, Mr. Speaker, is satellite imagery analyzed by 
Harvard University's Humanitarian Initiative that reveals evidence of 
mass graves outside South Kordofan's capital of Kadugli.
  At this moment, Mr. Speaker, as the U.S. personnel hide behind their 
barracks walls, the SAF are hunting men, women and children on foot, in 
fighter jets, and with bombs rolled out of back doors of cargo aircraft 
onto Nuba villages. Where does the United Nations stand as the Nuba are 
wiped out? Where do we stand?
