"Genocide" the intention to destroy or murder a group of people because of their race, religion or political and/or ethical status. It is one of the most cruel crimes that can be comitted by any type of government. In this paper I am going to examine the historic genocide in Darfur, a region in Sudan, Africa that has been happening since the Spring of 2003. Not much attention or effort has been brought to the media about the crisis. It all began when Sudan’s very own government ordered and armed an Arab militia to attack certain ethnic groups. Without their intent it led to the mass murder of more than 480,000 people. Time and time again people question, why should we care?

Much of the population have fled their homes to camps in surrounding cities to live but are still being watched by the Janjaweed army outside the camps. In 2004, the House and Senate proclaimed the circumstances in Darfur genocide, but Bashir and the army later denied the events ever happening even with so many people unaccounted for.

In an instance if a crisis such as the Genocide in Darfur were to happen here on our homeland where the government turned on its own people then wanted you to believe in what they wanted you to and do as they say, hopefully we a people would stick together and be prepared to take rightful actions. We of all the people must speak up and demand the government leaders to just make the right choices to prevent and stop the atrocities, this could be done by sounding our words and demand our actions to the people of everywhere. There should be a making of human rights to the government policy. After all, we should try to stop all violence and just stick together without any conflict occurring, we also decisive action, including military army actions as well. It’s kind of possible to reduce the chances of it by addressing the roots of the causes of wars and violence such as discrimination shouldn’t be tolerated not by any people of anywhere. Our government is mainly the responsibility for the conflicts we have, they basically got control of everything that goes on. I
