he Genocide in Darfur is what has killed more than 400,000 people and has left over 2.5 million people without a home.It all initially began with two rebel groups who decided to launch an uprising against the government who then decided to respond to that with an scorch-earth campaign.The Scorch-earth campaign is when the government armed the bankrolling militias who later attacked the pour innocent civilians.The Genocide is taking place in Darfur which is in the region of Sudan is Africa which is one of the poorest part of Africa and on top of the enormous amount of poverty the people have to face they also have to face the horrible reality of the Genocide.Genocide is something that like the Holocaust many years ago needs to be stopped before it is to late!
This relates to the Holocaust all over again the holocaust is a genocide.The holocaust killed for now apparent reason.Just because They were a different type.This going on in Darfur is a genocide.They are killing because they look a certain way.I actually have no idea why we(America)are doing nothing.Maybe were in on it I don't know.
It is obvious that the Genocide in Darfur needs to be stopped but the question is how.There are many ways that that could be done but all of them have some kind of violence involved and really I don't think that violence stops violence.For one the Other nations that are around there that are seeing this going on should put a stop to it but then again wouldn't that just make an even bigger war.Then there's always the thing that the people living there could rebel against the government and help the poor people in the camps but then all that would do would be make the governments anger even bigger and more people would die.I think the best and easiest way for this to end is by the Government liberating those people and forgetting about it but I don't think it will happen anytime soon.
