Over the decade he would build a large following, and gained a popularity that would draw people over a wide area of Sudan. His teaching helped him to mentally organize the…

Except that before Britain brought these gifts of western ideologies, and philosophies Britain, and many other European nations brought war and bloodshed to Africa. The Sudan people are a great example of enforcing rule, and ideologies on a population. Even though the Sudanese army had courage to fight the colonization of Britain, the Sudanese army did fall under the British rule. Similar to other African countries “courage…

Government: European involvement in Africa was unbeatably imperialism. Once can be so certain of this due to the manner in which Europe interacted with the African people and their endowed resources. This profound interaction can definitely be described as imperialism especially because European powers created an incredibly disparate economic situation in Africa through striking fear into African lives—making them obey by force, or die. Although European powers reasoned their motives in…

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…

Throughout my life my parents have done their best to give me a broader perspective of the world, as well as teach me the value of having unwavering principles, staying physically fit, and working hard in academics. It’s my goal to join the United States Marine Corps and use these qualities that I have made my own to be the best officer I can be. I was privileged to have a unique childhood. Until I was nine years old I lived in Kenya, East Africa due to my dad’s job as a Missionary Bush Pilot.…

When juxtaposing America and Uganda, jarring separations between their cultures and societal way of life become more apparent. Three prominent characteristics that separate America and Uganda are the countries '…

“ Where is my family?” (9), that is the question that so many people living in Sudan had, just how Salva had asked a million times. A Long Walk to Water written by Linda Sue Park is a true story about the war crisis in Sudan. An 11 year old boy named Salva Dut has to leave everything behind, even his family when the gunfire from the war hit his village of Loun-Ariik (Dinka village). Salva walked for months and months across an arid desert to reach safety at a refugee camp in Ethiopia only to be…

Located in Northern Africa bordering the Mediterranean Sea, Libya was once an early center of Christianity in its earlier stages with Greece establishing colonies in the country prior to becoming part of the Roman Empire. Libya would not become a country of Islam until the Roman Empire had fallen and Libya invaded and occupied by other countries and empire to include the Ottoman Empire that would influence the religion of Islam in the country.

Self Interest in International Courts and Tribunals International justice and law is a tool used by powerful states directed against smaller states. I would go even further and argue that international bodies, when controlled by powerful states, is a tool meant to intervene specifically in conflicts where those same powerful states could benefit. International tribunals, specifically the ICC, have motives that make the pursuit of justice desirable. Through the lens of a realism, I see the ICC…
