The War on Poaching in the Nation's Capital | Explorer

Congressman Royce is an expert in the complex political situations on the ground in Africa. This man has access to the highest levels of intelligence available in the war against Kony and others.

“Mr. Chairman, Mr. Thank you for having me. Please, I want to show you what we've come up with. We've been on an investigation for over a year. We've designed an artificial tusk that we've planted a transmitter inside, and we've injected it into the stream of commerce. It went north and went north to exactly after King. The area that this is, is the area where Kony has been taking prisoners.

And then the ivory has continued east through Sudan. We're told that the LRA are trading ivory for arms with these Sudanese forces. It makes sense because Kony, in the past, has gotten a lot of his ammunition through Sudan. So, the terror networks in the area here would allow the Janjaweed, Al-Shabaab, Boko Haram, ISIS, and other terror organizations to team up with Kony. These groups are trying to form connections.

That is correct. You are the first organization that has put into the pipeline a tracker that has probably ended up in his camp. Remember, this is an individual who moves around. It has probably the best spotting we've had on him in some time. This evidence will help us with respect to bringing additional pressure, but try to focus our government on being part of the solution here, on bringing more resources to bear and shutting down the ivory trade. It will be very helpful.

Mr. Temple, thank you very much. Thank you, persons.”
