Violation In Darfur

Darfur is a piece of text is true and takes place in the present. It is so upsetting that you would not believe that people are still treated like they are. They are treated as less than people which is a direct violation of Article 1 and 2. The text also violates Articles 3 and 5. The people in Darfur are so brutally mistreated and they are not treated in a good spirit of brotherhood. A good spirit of brotherhood would be the Arabs working with the Darfur people and talking things out with them, not acting out in a fit of rage and oppressing many people.

We are all equal, no matter what religion we believe in, no matter what we think, no matter what we eat, and especially no matter what we look like.
