Following a meeting with United Nations head Ban Ki-Moon, the U.S. Special Envoy to Darfur/Sudan Rich Williamson told the press he had recently met with Sudanese president Omar al-Bashir.

But, he said “nobody can be particularly proud of what we’ve done yet.”

Williamson said he met with al-Bashir for an hour, followed by a four-hour meeting with the Sudanese foreign minister and senior leadership.
