Armenian Americans welcomed Congressman Hank Johnson’s forceful remarks on the House floor condemning the Sudanese government’s brutal, ongoing attacks on civilians in the Nuba Mountain and South Kordofan regions, reported the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA).

“Armenian Americans join with all those committed to ending the cycle of genocide in thanking Congressman Johnson for his strong leadership and his powerful words today,” said ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian.

Hamparian extended appreciation to Congressman Wolf for his longstanding efforts to protect the vulnerable population in Sudan, across Africa, and around the world.

“We remain engaged with our allies in the genocide-prevention movement and our friends in the Nuba Mountain community here in the United States to secure the types of U.S. and U.N. action that can bring an end to Sudan’s aggression,” he added.
