Genocides are still occurring; the first genocide of the 21st century was the Darfur genocide. This genocide started in February 2003. The conflict is between north and south regions of Sudan. The north is largely made up of an Islam population. The south is largely made up of a Christian population, creating conflict tied to religion similar to the Holocaust (#1). The capital of the north is Khartoum governed under General Omar al-Bashir. He desired to create Islamic-based government, which the…

“They are remnant populations that took refuge in the hills for protection against slavery, practiced for centuries by states in the Nile Valley and the sultanates of Darfur” (p. 422). During 1992, another genocidal aspect of war broke out in Sudan against the Nuba civilians of the country that became known for its essence of cutting off the Nuba from “…humanitarian assistance and the focus of only a tiny advocacy effort” (p.421).

“Heil Hitler!” Used as a motto, a command, and the words of a bad dream. Whether we have learned of the Holocaust through school, family, museums, art, or by our own curiosity we conclude that this event should always be remembered throughout the history of the entire world. We usually never hear about how the rest of the world reacted to the Holocaust and how inhumane other countries were while this disaster was happening. Everyone should know how to deal with upcoming situations relating to…

Including members from continental European states, North…

throughout history 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 the late 1980’s, the African country of Sudan was involved in a brutal civil war that left over 20,000 children orphaned with no families to protect them or homes to live in. Many of these young children walked over a thousand miles through jungle and dessert terrain searching for refuge from the war. Many did not survive. Thousands of these children wondered for years in search of safety, eventually finding refuge in a camp in Kenya miles from their homes. They became known as the lost boys…

Dictators in history all have something in common; an obsession with power. A great example of a murderous dictator would be Omar al-Bashir. Bashir was born in January of 1944 in the Nile Valley of northern Sudan. He joined the military at sixteen and slowly worked his way up to being a torturous dictator. The conniving dictator Napoleon manipulates situations to get to the top in the short novel Animal Farm by George Orwell. Which is a mirror image of the dictator of Sudan. They are similar in…

Around that time the United States provided more than $560 million in humanitarian assistance specifically benefiting LRA-affected populations in Uganda, CAR, the DRC, and Sudan, in addition to countrywide assistance in the affected countries that could benefit individuals affected by LRA violence. On November 22, 2011, the African…
