Hey readers! I hope you all have enjoyed my posts so far as there will a lot more to, well, tonight anyways. I wanted to shed some light on possibly the most prominent issue within Sudan and more specifically in Darfur, where genocide remains a pressing issue.
Many African farmers and other Sudanese people are being murdered and displaced, on a day to day basis, some 100 people are killed. Overall, the entire genocide has killed nearly 400,000 people and displaced over 2,500,000.
Th government has turned a blind eye to this travesty occurring within there own borders, and has actually been accused of promoting the genocide, which I mentioned in my previous post. They are said to have sponsored the Janjaweed militia group to intimidate those who live in Darfur by using tactics such as rape, displacement, organized starvation, threats against aid workers and mass murder. The genocide is occurring because the people are not complying with what the government wants, and the Sudanese government feels that the best way to control there people is to not give them a voice, but to murder them instead. This has not turned out in there favour however, it has caused them to be charged with crimes against humanity and faced with looks of disgust from virtually all other nations.
Thats it for now, just a little into into the most pressing issue in Sudan, more to come later for sure! Thanks for reading!
