What is happening in Sudan?

Asked by Wiki User

There is a genocide, an enthnic cleansing if you will, still occurring in Darfur. Sparked from decades of famine, drought, and oppression it only gets worse as time goes on. With the rise of militia groups, the Sudanese government, in 2003, sent their own, well armed, well funded militia group to reek havoc in the area of Darfur.
The Sudanese governments military is mainly funded by oil revenues, the countries major money maker. Over 70% of oil profits go to the military. This poses a problem to the people of Darfur, as the largest of these oil fields lies in South darfur, while the government is in the North. UN action has been rare as both China and Russia benefit from Sudanese oil, and both Russia and China are veto powers on the Security Council.
450,000 people have been murdered, 2.5 million are hungry, and 4.5 are displaced.
It is a crisis that is complicated, multi faceted, and complex.

The People of Darfur have been running up and down trying to escape the civil war that was/is being fought between the Darfur rebel groups and the Government of Sudan,under the presidency of Omar Hassan Al-Bashir. In 2003,some rebel groups In Darfur rebeld against the Government of Sudan,complaining of being neglected by the Central Government,and also struggling for power . As the rebel leaders struggle to fight Omar Hassan Al-Bashir's Government for being negleted,Al-Bashir because of fear of threat from the Darfur rebels,in retaliation he armed the "Janjaweed group" to kill the Darfuris ( 300,000 Darfuris died since 2003,and the US Government in 2004 had termed it as a genocide). So the Darfur people have got no time to cultivate or practice agriculture.Secondly,the Darfur region is a hot desert area,hence it does not favour agriculture.

The Darfur genocide never ended buddy. Simply type in "When did the Darfur genocide end" into Google, and you find a list of charities to donate to. You see those, but no date. why? because it never ended. Although the genocide had died down slightly over time, it is still going on today. the death toll has been estimated in the millions.

It makes you really realize how lucky you are, doesn't it?
