[Excerpt from statement by Ambassador Susan E. Rice, U.S. Permanent Representative, on the Humanitarian Situation in Sudan, in the Security Council, March 20, 2009]
Ambassador Rice (Mar. 20): "Let me be clear. This is not a made up crisis, as the representative of Sudan would have you believe.

The Sudanese government made this decision and owns its consequences." Full Text
