Attacks have caused Darfur to be almost just smoke in the sky.There have been many racial targetings in the area of Darfur, Sudan and there seems to be no end to them in sight .The Darfur Genocide is turning Darfur into just a big pile of ashes and smoke clouds. People are getting exterminated in darfur and some of them are just (as some people would say) “A deer caught in the headlights”. Women at all ages are getting raped and killed while the culprits make their family watch in terror. Most of the women are just in the way of the culprits mission targeting the African Americans and end up getting targeted. The culprits of this crime are arab militias known as the Janjaweed,

There have been people getting shot in fatal areas that are left for dead and nobody tries to help the people on the ground dying because they don’t want to die themselves,but if they were to help, they would be shot as well and left to die right with the others that have been shot. Most people are shot but some big families are made,one by one, run through the fires and almost all of them die, but the ones who don’t die suffer from very bad burns and usually are shot in the street or die from exposure. Towns have almost entirely been deserted or have what seems to have disappeared. Most of the towns that in the area or used to be in the area have been burnt down by the JanJaweed.Every town the JanJaweed come upon seems to be burned down or is burning down and some homes are burnt down while people are still inside them and they are burning to death. Some get a faster death when the house falls on top of them. Most of the houses that aren’t burning are falling down and making just a big pile of wood and trash from in the house. Some of the houses don’t fall down because they were not shot at or burnt down by the JanJaweed. Most people are …show more content…
They try to take some of the things that they really need and leave everything else behind. Some people try to take everything in their home and end up not making it to safety because they are too greedy and the JanJaweed will shoot them if they see them walking on the road. Sometimes the JanJaweed will hit them with their vehicles. Most homes are abandoned and left to rot because if they stay they will be killed by the JanJaweed. The JanJaweed will sometimes leave homes alone so they can have a place to stay for the night when they need to sleep. They can sleep in their vehicles if they really want to and that's what most of them do just in case they want to go anywhere fast.That is why darfur is turning into smoke and why there needs to be something done about it. I say that this needs to stop as soon as possible because there is too much killing of innocent people and even non innocent people. That is the reason why this needs to stop and if you want to know how to stop it, just tell me and if you think we should stay out of it and that it would put us into another war then prove it.

    This overwhelmingly long period of fighting displaced tens of thousands of young children across the Sudan. It forced them to walk through dangerous wilderness and deserts in search of safety, their families, and food to keep them alive. All of this fighting stemming from the South Sudanese people wanting their independence from the enforcement of harsh new rules from northern elites.

Bush administration created a network of support the help the South gain their much needed independence. “President Bush appointed former Senator John Danforth as the first of the US special envoys for this region and Danforth played a major role in helping bring about the CPA and South Sudan’s right of self-determination” (“The United States and South Sudan” 4).…

    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. Unfortunately, these numbers are tending to grow higher and higher each day. 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 Cornell University Press claims “it seemed that an insurgency against the government had started and that this was being countered by extreme means including, strangely, raids by groups of horsemen (Janjaweed) who massacred peasants and burnt whole…

    Darfur is part of western Sudan in Africa, and it has been suffering a civil war between rebel groups and the government from 2003 to today. The Sudanese government is hiring Arab tribesman called Janjaweed to attack and raid non-Arab towns. There have been over 480,000 deaths in Darfur, and there have been 2.8 million displacements because of the fleeing people from the Janjaweed attacked towns. While many people are dying in Darfur, and people may think that nothing is being done to stop this genocide, but the UN is trying to keep peace in Darfur by trying to send troops, and the British government is trying to get the Sudanese government to put the president of Sudan, Omar al-Bashir, in jail.

The most recent genocide, the Darfur genocide, was the mass slaughter of Darfuri men, women, and children that began in 2003, making it the first genocide of the 21st century.
