Thank you.
Thanks very much to both of you for testifying before our committee and sharing your knowledge with us.
Mr. Tennant, like you, I have spent a lot of time in Africa. I have lived in a country called Liberia and have travelled extensively both as a private citizen and as a parliamentarian in visiting Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi, and Nigeria, among many others. From these travels, what I have gained is a better understanding of the great potential of both the African land and the African peoples. There is a tremendous economic opportunity just waiting to be realized.
The Sudanese people need jobs. They need employment. Can you give us some insight into what can be done to encourage companies to take risks and to go into countries such as Sudan?
