Genocide In Sudan

After these two genocides, one may look at the past and ask, how could this death and destruction possibly happen again? The bad part is that it is happening again in the Darfur region of Sudan. This region is “about the size of Texas” (DarfurScores, par. 1) and “five thousand die every month”

Darfur is the western region of the African country of Sudan. Currently, the people of Darfur have been continually attacked by the Sudanese army and by proxy-militia controlled by the Sudanese government. Families are being uprooted and starved, children tormented and murdered by the thousands and women raped without punishment. Innocent civilians in Darfur continue to be victims of unthinkable brutality. Many people have become homeless and seek protection in refugee camps in Chad. Yet despite its outward appearance, Darfur has a vast ethnic diversity and a complex, ancient system of resolving conflict. Genocide has occurred in several places around the world, but in Darfur there are certain reasons why it

Not everybody believes in genocides, other may have a different opinion or thoughts. Sometimes people don’t realize its genocide because they believe in what they are doing and they think there is no harm done because it’s not affecting them. To be taken away from your family, to go live somewhere else or to be killed can have a huge impact on your life. Genocides play a huge role in the world; it has and will affect many people. In Darfur there is a genocide going on, it has been going on for a few decades now. Genocide is the mass killing of a race. The people of Darfur and the Government of Sudan didn’t really get along. The Government wanted to do oil exploration where the citizens lived. There was and still is a lot of tension between

The ongoing genocide in Darfur is in desperate need of help. As the first genocide of the 20th century it impacts us directly. The men, women and children of Darfur are being exposed to death, rape and even water contamination.The Janjaweed is the root of the destruction in Darfur has motivated economic power, political power and a plain simple rivalry over the non- Muslim and the non-Arab. The Janjaweed translates to devils on horseback they got there name for a reason they ride around horseback armed with assault rifles and intentions of destruction.

In recent times, the media has highlighted the genocide that has been occurring in Darfur, Sudan. Darfur, Sudan is a country roughly the size of the state of Texas (Darfur Scores, n.d.). Genocide is the systematic killing of an entire ethnic group of people from a national, ethnic, or religious group, or an attempt to do away with them all (Darfur Scores, n.d.). Beginning around 2003, according to Darfur Scores (n.d.), “the Sudanese government in Khartoum and the government-sponsored Janjaweed militia have used rape, displacement, organized starvation, threats against aid workers and mass murder. Violence, disease, and displacement continue to kill thousands of innocent Darfurians every month.”

Can you honestly say this whole situation in Darfur isn’t genocide. The definition of genocide is the deliberate extermination of a people or nation. If you ask me this situation is clearly genocide. After all the Sudanese government is purposely torturing these people in Darfur. This is a truly a sad and terrible event for them that’s been going on for over 13 years. They have been torturing these citizens by killing them, raping them, polluting their water system, and much more. These are truly awful acts the Janjaweed is committing. It’s definitely one of the worst genocides in history. After all i’ve said if you before reading this thought it wasn't a genocide do you still think

The government they supported the Janjaweed and thought that if they left to them their laundry will continue to be clean.”(7)” By the government obtaining to this they became in denial of what was actually happening in their community. They Janjaweed were killing, raping, starving, and torturing the people of Darfur, because they didn’t like that they were not Arab”(3)” This all along was the plan of the

The “Darfur Genocide” is a mass slaughter and rape of men, women and children in the western portion of Sudan.

The Darfur Genocide refers to the current mass slaughter, torture, and rape of many Darfuri people. As mentioned in the site World Without Genocide, this fighting began in 2003 and it still continues to this day, and this is the first genocide of the 21st century. This fighting began because of rebel groups fighting

The War in the Darfur region of Sudan has occurred since February of 2003. The Sudanese Liberation Movement (SLM) and the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) are rebel groups that revolted against the Sudanese government, producing a civil war throughout Darfur. The direct result of which is the first genocide of the 21st century, and more specifically, genocide through governmental disregard.

The Darfur crisis was a horrific event because of the savage treatment of civilians that led to an immense number of civilian casualties. As of today, over four hundred and eighty thousand people have been killed, and over two point eight million people are displaced. (World Without Genocide, Worldwithoutgenocide.org). Women and children were forced to endure a systematic program of sexual assault, torture, and murder. The central government of Sudan, working largely through nomadic Arab militias, humiliates women, and tears apart families and shreds the social fabric of communities through rape. (Smart Library on Globalization, clg.portalxm.com). It is clear from these sources that the innocent civilian deaths tore apart families. After villages are attacked parents and children have had to run away from the

The world is not a safe place. In our minds we know this, but in our hearts we like to believe we can change it. The world itself is complex, there are many good memories in life; the birth of a child, achieving a goal, and the feeling of victory. The world is also filled with plenty of bad memories; war, terrorism, and death. Most recently, in 2003, there was a genocide in Darfur, killing 300,000 people. Sense then there have been many more genocides and current ones happening today, history keeps repeating itself and innocent people continue to die. One thing that keeps people safe at night is knowing the bad guys, who fill us with these bad memories, are locked away (Holly). The government made the first prison in 1790 (Prison), since then

In Mike Keefe’s cartoon he reveals the brutality of what happened it Sudan and how the UN could have done something to stop the massacre of the Sudanese people. Even after a horrific genocide occurred The UN were still slow to connect the dots of what happened. The genocide was “spelt” out right in front of the UN they still didn’t see what happened. They could have jumped in and prevented the killing from happening but instead did not come in till after the fact. The UN tried to ignore the fact of what was happening to avoid having to interfere with the ongoing genocide. Unless the killing is happening in their own back yard they are slow to react.

The government of Sudan, a country in Northeast Africa, is committing a horrendous crime against humanity. Genocide is raging on in Western Sudan against poor, helpless, innocent people. It is actually the ten year “anniversary” since the beginning of the Darfur conflict and the genocide still continues on. There are over 1.4 million people who still do not have homes to come back to, and the numbers stack higher every day. Bombings have not stopped, as there was one as recent as February 2013. The Darfur conflict in the beginning was just a brewing disaster and it eventually led to the horrendous genocides in the early 2000s due to early settlement disputes, climate change, and radical Islamic

In order to classify the murder, slaughter of western Sudan men, women, and children as a genocide. The definition of the word genocide is “the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group” (Kris Carpenter).
