June 2, 2024

Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-Calif.) “This is an ally, a strategic partner on the continent of Africa who has been working in the DRC (Democratic Republic of the Congo), they’ve also been dealing with the challenges in Somalia, they have been trying to address the issues in Chad and they are on the front lines in Haiti.”
