The United States strongly condemns the September 29 armed assault on World Food Program humanitarian workers in Jonglei State and the forced offloading of food meant to feed nearly 20,000 people in need. This attack is another example of armed actors preying on humanitarian assistance at the expense of South Sudan's most vulnerable people. Humanitarian workers must never be targets. We call on South Sudan’s leaders and all parties to guarantee safe and unimpeded humanitarian access, prevent further attacks, and hold everyone responsible for such appalling attacks to account. The humanitarian crisis in South Sudan is manmade. We urge the country’s leaders to use public revenue to provide basic services for their people.

Meet Abraham Clark, one of America's Founding Fathers. Born in 1726 in Elizabeth, New Jersey, Clark overcame illness and little formal education to become known as "the poor man's counselor," offering free legal help to those in need. Chosen to replace delegates who opposed independence, he proudly signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776—even as two of his own sons suffered as prisoners aboard a British ship. After the war, he fought for the inclusion of the Bill of Rights and continued serving the nation in Congress. Clark's story is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made to birth our nation.
