War In Darfur

The Sudan Liberation Movement and the Justice Equality Movement took arms against the Sudanese government, which was later named “The War in Darfur”. Which sparked the anger of the government and sent their military to begin murdering many villages, that were non Arabs. In many accounts reported about 2 million were killed over 2 decades.Scarce resources played a huge role in the mass killings of Sudanese (non arab).

Did you know one out of twelve people died as a result of the Darfur genocide? The Darfur genocide was part of the ongoing Sudanese civil war in Darfur. The rebel sides are the Sudan Liberation Movement and the Justice Equality Movement. The Janjaweed, or Sudan’s government-funded military, retaliated against the rebellion by attacking and killing the civilians in Darfur. These practices went on long enough that it was considered a genocide. The Darfur crisis was one of the most tragic events in the last twenty years, and affected families in many ways including the brutal treatment of natives, moving to refugee camps, and the loss of home villages and possessions.

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.”

The United Nations has described it as "the world's worst humanitarian crisis". As of 2003, the Darfur genocide is being carried out by the Sudanese armed forces and funded Arab militias known as the Janjaweed. These militias are historic rivals of the rebel groups known as the Sudanese Liberation Movement (SLM), and the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM). Darfur is a region in western Sudan on the border of Chad, Libya, and the Central African Republic. Darfur is estimated to have about 6 million people living there. The conflict started in 2003 and has continued through today. The Janjaweed were accused of oppressing Darfur's non-Arab population. The Janjaweed are destroying Darfurians by burning villages, polluting water, murdering, raping

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.

This genocide has gone on for too long and too many innocent civilians have been killed or their villages burned. The United States needs to act, stop the Khartoum government, and free the Darfuri people. “The past is future for Darfur, and that is unspeakably cruel”

In 2003 there was a mass slaughter and and rape of the people in Darfur. This happened to so many people like men, women, and children. Many people suffered from the mass torturing. This is known as a genocide. The genocide has been going on for about 13 years and is still going on today. This genocide is the first genocide in the 21st century. The darfur genocide was gruesome. Since the Darfur bloodshed was gruesome and had people attacking, it led the United States and Court to believe it was considered a genocide. Darfur is a horrible time in history for so many people. The Janjaweed and the Sudanese forces attacked hundreds of villages in Darfur. The genocide is what caused so many people to suffer from the United States, court, crimes

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 Genocide started on February 26, 2003. This genocide is still continuing till this day. Darfur Genocide is the mass slaughter of Darfuri men, women, and children in Sudan. This is happening because of the oppression of Darfur’s non-Arab population.. The people started to revolt and wanted the government to stop the oppressing of the non–Arab population. The government did not listen and got violent with the people. When the Sudan Liberation Army (SLA) and the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) started to attack the government, the government responded with there own attack. The Sudanese government decided to use the Janjaweed a Sudanese military group to attack the non–Arab population. Now because of the Janjaweed millions of people

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

The conflict in Darfur refers to the fighting that is happening in the western region of Sudan known as Darfur. These fights have been taking place since 2003 and have continued to today. Similarities can be made to the Rwandan Genocide; there is a government funded and armed militia that is not officially supported by the government that is killing a local population. The citizens of the region of Darfur that are being killed are not Arabic, like the majority of the rest of Sudan is, however, they are more similar in culture and other aspects to the citizens of South Sudan, Sudan’s neighboring country to the south with which Sudan has had multiple wars with. Despite the fact that there is a militia that is killing citizens, there are also other militias that are fighting for the Darfuri people. These two sides have been fighting each other for close to ten years. Even though citizens of a certain group are being targeted by a militia, the conflict in Darfur is not a genocide. The United States should not get involved militarily in this conflict because it is only a conflict and not a genocide. It is a war between two groups over disputes between these groups. Instead, the United States should use diplomacy to help end the conflict happening in Darfur.

To begin with, the government of Darfur has drastically changed the country into a dystopian society with its actions, and Darfur’s government was not stopped. Darfur is in the middle of a lot of chaos, and the government is only adding to that by sending out the Janjaweed, a government led group who attacks, murders the Darfurians, and destroys their belongings. The government also bombs villages, kills or enslaves survivors of their attacks, taking or destroying food supplies, and polluting the water supply with the dead bodies. The dystopian concept in this society was the government’s attacks showed that they had full control over Darfur, and Sudan was to busy to help. “The first civil war ended in 1972 but broke out again in 1983. The

the video of darfur is the best to show everything that is happening in darfur. the video interviewed people, showed images and video of their homes. the narrator even talking in a sad and depressing voice to give the viewer a feeling of how sad it is. The people they interviewed were mostly pregnant, and were raped to make the bitter feeling more appealing. the people talked about how they attacked at their homes, and how they are starving, and everything there going through. The video was able to show the dismal feeling that is going around in darfur.

The term “genocide” is defined as, “any one of a number of acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group.” Although the Sudanese government states that they were simply putting down an armed insurance, as in they were just trying to defend itself, there are strong evidence that indicates that the violence in Darfur is an occurrence of genocide. Innocent villages were not only burned down but innocent people were also raped and killed. While up to this time the Sudanese government declares that their slaughters were motivated by rebel activities, more indication of ethnical cleansing is displayed. For example, rebel activity is much higher among the Zaghawa than the Massaleit but it is said that there were more racial epithets in attacks on Massaleit and the attacks are much deadlier. Additionally three things that could predict killing and rape of the Africans in Darfur were through sex, hearing racial epithets and whether one was Arabian or not. While African women were more likely to get raped and killed, African men were killed instantly. Rape was not simply a tool to terrify Darfurians but was also used to alter the race of children. One way to make the child Arab was merely by having an Arab father so raping an African woman was operated to alternate Arab children for African children. Moreover when racial

There are two reasons genocide is going on right at this very moment, the first is due to the world not having developed the international institution, to prevent and predict it, the second is that the leaders of our world do not have the political will power to end it.
