Darfur


    i dont know a lot about Darfur but what i know about it is that it start with a letter ‘d’. its is also in Africa somewhere. it is under a lot of stress. people there are getting burned in northwest Darfur, they have food shortage. kids there dont have there parents and family. peace keeper. had a lot of violence in year 2003. 200 thousand have died and 2.5 million have bin driven from there homes. the us is not doing enough  to help Darfur in what Bush calls genocide. genocide is an attempt to wipe out the hole nation. 

                                                                    Here is five facts on darfur
                                            
“Sudan’s government and the pro-government Arab militias are accused of war crimes against the region’s black African population, although the UN has stopped short of calling it genocide.”




“The conflict began in the arid and impoverished region early in 2003 after a rebel group began attacking government targets, saying the region was being neglected by Khartoum.”
This quot is important because it tells you when they stated attacking.
 





“Darfur, which means land of the Fur, has faced many years of tension over land and grazing rights between the mostly nomadic Arabs, and farmers from the Fur, Massaleet and Zagawa communities.”
this quot is important because it tells you what the word ‘darfur’ mean.



Refugees from Darfur say that following air raids by government aircraft, the Janjaweed ride into villages on horses and camels, slaughtering men, raping women and stealing whatever they can find.




Many women report being abducted by the Janjaweed and held as sex slaves for more than a week before being released.
this is something that is happing in Darfur and they saying that its genocide is not cool and i say the same thing.
this picture means that we need to remember Rwanda and help Darfur because they need as much help as they can get.
