Colin Powell: Genocide in Darfur

State Department officials, the American Bar Association and the Coalition for International Justice collaborated on a fact-finding mission in Darfur that involved extensive research of the conflict’s history and origin, as well as interviews with over one thousand Sudanese refugees.

"When we reviewed the evidence compiled by our team, along with other information available to the State Department, we concluded that genocide has been committed in Darfur and that the Government of Sudan and the Jinjaweid bear responsibility." Powell added, "Genocide may still be occurring."
