In this on Mar 23, 2021 file photo, former US Ambassador to the United Nations, Samantha Power testifies before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to be the next Administrator of the United States Agency for International Development , on Capitol Hill in Washington.

“I first visited Sudan in 2004 - investigating a genocide in Darfur perpetrated by a regime whose grip on power seemed unshakeable.
