Notes on Darfur:1

Genocide in Darfur, Sudan
  • 400,000 people have already died because of starvation, disease and violence
  • 2,500,000 people have been displaced from their homes
A main cause of the warring in Sudan is the government's neglect of its people. As a result of their neglect, Sudan has become a place of conflict and poverty. Currently, the Janjaweed is a group of Arabs who have formed a government-supported militia to fight back against the rebel tribes who have challenged the government. The United States is working with other international peace organizations to help this conflict. The most important focus is how to help those innocent people living in refugee camps as well as those affected by the conflict. In order to bring peace, an agreement must be made between the warring groups and their needs to be a stable government put into place in Sudan.
