الصفقة السرية القذرة بين إدارة اوباما و نظام المجرم البشير

WOLF: KHARTHOUM SECURES D.C. REPRESENTATION? WHO IS REPRESENTING THE INNOCENT VICTIMS THE GOVERNMENT IS KILLING?



Washington, D.C. (December 13, 2011) – Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA), a long-time critic of the Government of Sudan, today raised serious questions regarding reports that the genocidal government has hired a Washington law firm to represent its interests.



In a speech on the House floor, Wolf asked how the lawyer, Bart S. Fisher, could sleep at night knowing what is presently happening in the Blue Nile and Southern Kordofan states. He also asked who is representing the thousands of people presently living in refugee camps since fleeing their villages to escape the aerial bombardments and other attacks being directed by Sudan’s President, Omar Hassan Bashir, an internationally indicted war criminal.



Wolf said he gets regular reports about the ongoing atrocities, including the shelling of civilian areas, extrajudicial killings and house-to-house searches and arrests. He also pointed to evidence gathered through satellite imagery by the Satellite Sentinel Project that reveals at least eight mass graves found in and around Kadugli, the capital of Southern Kordofan.



In addition to his floor speech, Wolf requested immediate clarification from the Obama Administration whether Fisher was in fact granted a license from the Office of Foreign Assets Control at the Treasury Department to provide legal representation to the government of Sudan, a country which faces comprehensive sanctions, and if so why, particularly given Sudan’s utterly deplorable human rights record. A copy of Wolf’s letter is attached.
