In spite of the fact, the RUF soldiers had faith in Sankoh’s and trusted him to better the country, his anti-government was a huge threat to Sierra Leone.

Think about the population of Washington D.C, around 650,000 people. That is approximately how many refugees has helped since 2006. In 2015 alone the United States has helped around 70,000.

That is about seven people dying a minute. After that ended, there were approximately 550,000 Tutsi refugees. What is mass genocide? Genocide…

Children and grown men are getting their hands amputated by force…

More than 400,000 people murdered, thousands homeless, and a total of 2.3 million citizens of Sudan being displaced due to the tragic genocide in Darfur.

All of these consequences are the result of the Sudanese government which put together a group of militiamen who had only one job, to ruin the lives of millions. The book, Darfur, the Ambiguous Genocide which was written by Gerard Prunier and published in 2005 by the…

Grief has been the american way throughout the years. People cried on 9/11, people cry when something/someone they love disperses from existents to only leave memories behind.
