Trump promises safety. Darfur is pleading for it.
Erika Page
Staff writer
Good morning and welcome to Tuesday. Today we start in Washington, where President Donald Trump is taking controversial steps to exert greater control over a city he says is overrun by violent crime. Our reporters dug into whether those claims, and his actions, are justified. Meanwhile, halfway around the world, an unambiguous security crisis is receiving far less coverage. We take you to Darfur, where innocent civilians are being kidnapped and held for ransom as part of Sudan’s civil war, now in its third year. Locals are pleading for a global response they hope might restore a real sense of safety.
