Darfur+(2003+-+Current)

Darfur Genocide (2003-NOW) **Who is involved (who is perpatrating the event, who was being attacked?)**  Darfur is home to racially mixed tribes, African and Arab. Both have a majority of muslims. The name of the Sudanese Government supported militia to carry out the Genocide, is called the Janjaweed (Arab). The muslim Arab Sudaneses are killing the muslim Black Sudanese. //**__(The Basic Facts about Darfur 10-5-11)^1__**// This is a Picture of the Black Sudanese protecting/defending themselves **What the is the 'reason' behind the event?** In February 2003, the non-Arab ethnic groups of Darfur launched an uprising against the Kartoum Government. The Goovernment responded by implementing their campaign of genocide, enlisting the help of an Arab militia in Darfur called the janjaweed. //**__(The Basic Facts about Darfur 10-5-11)^1__**// This is a picture of a Janjaweed member. ** When and where the event occured ** This event is occuring right now since 2003 in Darfur which is a region in Sudan, Africa. Darfur is not a country in itself. The region WAS home to about 6 million people and is about the size of France. **//__(The Basic Facts about Darfur 10-5-11)^1__//** This is where Darfur is. ** The political and social impacts. ** The political impacts on Darfur are that the non-Arab ethnic groups caused an uprising against the Kartoum Government. The Kartoum Government responded in a genocidal way which was wrong in every way possible. Some of the social impacts that Darfur is having on not only themselves but also the Darfur refugees are fleeing their own country and flooding other countries and these countries don't have the resources to provide for them and their own people.

** The resolution ** There has been no resolution, the genocide is still going on and everyday a hundred or more people are being killed, and in 5 months time there will be one thousand dead.
