Meanwhile, on Capital Hill, efforts to put pressure on the Sudanese government are faltering under the reported influence of the Bush administration and business groups.

Bill Reinsch, president of the anti-divestment National Foreign Trade Council, explained: “The president of the United States runs foreign policy; the mayor of Berkeley does not.”
