Steidle, a former Marine Corps captain, states that “Darfur is more than an occasional headline in the newspaper or 20 seconds on a forgotten nightly newscast. It is where genocide continues to happen while the rest of the world goes through the motions of concern but does nothing of substance to stop it. Will the world ever wake up?” (Witness to the Genocide in Darfur). Steidle’s position on the genocide needs to be accepted so that the people in Darfur and Sudan can receive help. In the quote, Steidle

The Holocaust and Darfur genocides are both huge turning points in history and we learn a lot from them. Both the genocides left millions of people dead for no reason. The cause of the Holocaust was the rise of the Nazis hatred and anti-Semitism. One cause of the Darfur genocide was the Black Arabs being discriminated against. Also Hitler and the Nazis convinced the people the Jews were responsible for the bad economic state. The way they convinced the people this is because Hitler had a way of
Thousands killed in the Leopold outbreak. King Leopold should be condemned for his brutal actions, and for making the population more then half in population, like in Lukolela “The population in the villages of Lukolela in January 1891 must have been not less than 6,000 people, but when I counted the whole population in Lukolela at the end of December 1896.

The two groups are not racially distinct”(“The Real Roots of Darfur”). The conflict in Sudan started in 2003, when Omar-al Bashir was in charge. During the Sudanese genocide the African population is being targeted because Africans took up farming and thrived while Arabs stuck to herding, which was becoming
extreme measures to gain power. This is similar to what Omar al Bashir is doing in Darfur. There are those who go to extreme measures to gain power for their own good, and there are people who go to extreme measures for religious or ethnic reasons. The Crucible by Arthur Miller illustrates how a town can commit outrageous acts to ensure an utopian-like society. This is also similar to the way the government in Darfur kills people to cleanse Sudan. Lastly, the consequences of these extreme actions often
Hotel Rwanda directed by Terry George and released in 2004, is one of the films that most accurately depict the reality of the Rwandan Genocide in 1994. This genocide marks one of the most bloody and abrupt in the history of genocides where the Tutsi began slaughtering the Hutu. The story is told through the main character Paul Rusesabagina’s heroic acts as a hotel manager and his dedication to his family and people.

Description What is happening in Darfur you may ask? Ever since 2003, Darfur has been suffering from mass slaughter, starvation, and the destruction of villages. This is known as the Darfur genocide and it is the first genocide of the 21st century. This all began in the 1980s when Sudan’s (Darfur is the western region of Sudan) government, was dominated by Arabs.

know that these events would soon lead up to an event like the Holocaust. I agree that an event like the Holocaust can start again and be ignored because North Korea is making dangerous things, ISIS, who are miscreants, attack people, and people in Darfur are being killed. To begin, an event like the Holocaust can start and be ignored again because in this period of time North Korea is creating chaos. North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong-un, has made a decision to make nuclear weapons; however, he has made
