dying. A difference between the two is that one denies it while the other doesn’t. It is horrible to commit mass murder but to deny it is just as bad. In Germany it is illegal to deny that the Holocaust happened and they even commemorate it. While in Darfur their government denies that anything even happened. George Clooney was arrested for protesting against the Sudanese government (2), which shows how much they deny the genocide. Their is proof of all the murders and yet they still deny…

burning villages, looting economic resources, polluting water sources, and murdering, raping, and torturing civilians (world without genocide). According to BBC News article, “Darfur conflict: Sudan's bloody stalemate,” “The intensity of the conflict in Sudan's western region has diminished since its early years, but most of Darfur is still extremely dangerous.” The world is watching and it still continous after a decade.

atrocities. Genocides have occurred in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia, and Darfur, resulting in millions of deaths. Students need to know that genocides keep occuring, so maybe they can be the generation that puts a final end to the mass slaughtering of human beings. A student done is the UK found that “81% could not name any modern genocides,” and “2% knew about the Darfur killings (Teenagers Campaign). The saddest fact is that the killings in Darfur are occurring right now. There is a genocide,…

They might also say that the evidence supports their claim…

As a result of a superior group of people formulating new ideas to make a society that is more perfect for them, they begin to curtail the civil liberties of those whom they consider inferior. This was undoubtedly the case in Night, when soldiers under rule of Hitler strived to obliterate the “inferior” Jewish population, which they believed were crippling…
