In Darfur is where one of the biggest civil wars take place in Africa at the time wiping out around 30,000 people and still is ongoing to this day. In 2003, Africans in Darfur started a revolt against the government of Sudan which lead to the Darfur genocide. The government of Sudan retaliated back by hiring Arab Militia to raid Non Arabic villages. Their purpose was to eliminate all non-Arabic’s from their community. They did this by burning their villages, taking their resources, polluting…

distinct group of people for any reason. Genocide literally means "killing". Sudan is geographically the largest country in Africa. It illustrates Sudan's size that its western province, Darfur, is itself about the size of France. The population of Darfur is estimated at 6,000,000 people. The conflict in Darfur has also increased tensions in neighboring Chad and the Central African Republic as hundreds of thousands of refugees stream over the two countries’ borders to escape violence.

Introduction Darfur is the western region of Sudan that consists of seven and a half million people enclosed in 439,180 kilometers squared. Before the year 2003, many locals within the Western region (informally known as Dartunjur for decades) felt neglected by the political party of Sudan residing in the capital; Khartoum.

such as the Rwandan Genocide in 1994 and the ongoing Genocide in Darfur, it seems as if the UN did the complete opposite. By comparing both the military and humanitarian aid provided by the UN during these events, we will determine just how successful and/or adequate their efforts were. In addition to aid provided, we will look into the aftermath of these genocides to prove that the UN’s efforts were more successful in Rwanda versus Darfur. The Rwandan Genocide was an “ethnic cleansing”…

and formed the world that we live in today. With the mass number of civilians slaughtered during the Darfur Genocide you may ask yourself, why all the killing? How is this carried out, and what was done to help. The Genocide in Darfur has claimed over 450,000 lives and has caused chaos in millions. In Darfur there are over 100 tribes and with these tribes there comes tension. The conflict in Darfur is one between Arab and non-Arab. In 2003 two non-Arab groups called the Sudan Liberation Army…

location within the continent of Africa. Within the Country of Sudan is a western region called Darfur. Darfur is a beautiful area that has turned ugly in its recent years. It has remained independent for a long period of time, while the states around Darfur have been fighting back against Ottoman Empire forces that were attempting to colonize the area. This was until 1847, when the leaders of Darfur had fallen or were killed. Royal families attempted to rebel against the colonization but had…

Violence in the Darfur region has been going on since 2003; as a result, the mass amount of the displaced population, dead citizens, and the possible loss of a future generation has diminished the improvement of the country’s political, economic, and educational systems. The continued violence in Darfur has caused more than 3 million men, women, and children to be displaced from their homes and villages (Save Darfur, n.d., p. 2). This is a cause for major concern because those forced from their…

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…
