These killings has happened because they are repressing political opponents and consolidating power since the country has gaining independence from Great Britain. The most violence includes the systematic attacks on political opposition surrounding general election from 1983 to 1987 which killed about 20,000 people.This increased the attention in Zimbabwe and the risk of mass atrocities. It underscores international, regional, and local actors and should immediately develop strategies to help prevent it. It relates to the Holocaust because the government is permitting most of the killings.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo. Known as Zaire until 1997, has suffered two wars since 1996. The first war in 1996 began as a direct result of the 1994 Rwandan genocide. The second began in 1998 and involved the armed forces of at least seven countries and multiple militias. According to the International Rescue Committee, since 1998, an estimated 5.4 million people have died, most from preventable diseases as a result of the collapse of infrastructure, lack of food security, displacement, and destroyed health-care systems.

In 2006, DRC held its first multi-party elections in over 40 years, and over 25 million citizens participated.

Zimbabwe includes the systematic attacks on political opposition surrounding general elections in 2002 and 2008, and major military operations such as the Gukurahndi massacres from 1983-1987, which killed about 20,000 people. Factional fights within the ruling party could escalate into open violence. Today there is a potential risk of new mass atrocities.

This crisis began in Central African Republic when a group of predominantly Muslim rebel movements joined to form an alliance, Seleka. In 2013, they marched against the capital, Bangui. This caused many Christian self-defense forces to start targeting attacks on Muslim civilians. These ongoing acts of violence were putting many schools, facilities, and villages at risk for being destroyed. Also, many civilians were being killed. The United Nations designated this crisis at a level-3 humanitarian crisis- the highest level for an emergency. The international community is taking action to help resolve the conflict and provide humanitarian assistance.

The Muslim Rohingya have no legal status in Burma and face severe discrimination, abuse, and escalating violence. This is still going on by anti-Muslim groups cutting them off from everyone else including goods and services. While the Burmese government has signaled its intention to alleviate the plight of the Rohingya, little has as yet been done to address the fundamental causes of their suffering. Burma’s democracy movement has been largely silent about the treatment of the Rohingya. This and the holocaust are similar in the way how they are discriminating against them and cutting them off.

Carried out by Khmer Rouge regime guided by Pol Pot between 1975 and 1979, its reason was to turn the country into an agrarian utopia. Any educated people who were opposed were shot and killed. People were soon evacuated and killed from the cities in "killing fields" and forced labor camps. In reponse to the abuse, "clashes with Vietnam broke out in 1977 and on January 7, 1979 Vietnam invaded Cambodia, overthrowing the Khmer Rouge and installing a socialist regime comprised of Khmer Rouge defectors." For another decade there was fighting between the Khner Rouge and Vietnam(with help from China and the Soviet Union). By the end of 1999 all they members were either arrested or killed. People escaped to Thailand as refugees.
The holocaust killed and forced people to go to work camps because of the peoples religion. The camboidians wanted a perfect utopian society and while doing so they took the steps to create a genocide.

March, 2011. It was here where genocide in Syria began to take thousands of lives... of it's own people. It started as a democratic uprising against President Bashar al-Assad’s regime, but transformed into a violent struggle between local, national, regional, and international forces, in which the Syrian government, extremist forces, and outside actors perpetrate atrocities against civilians in a strategy of war.
This is similar to the Holocaust, as citizens are being attacked by their own government.
Because of this, security has been improved throughout the world.

A group of predominantly Muslim rebel movements work together to form an alliance called Séléka. They have been against civilians as they marched on the capital of Bangui, in March 2013. They reason that genocide is occurring is because central African republic has struggled to provide safety and security since 1960 when CAR gained independence from France. Séléka opposed the regime of former President François Bozizé. This is also why genocide has been occurring. The international community is taking action to help resolve the conflict. 400,000 civilians are internally displaced and living in other countries. In the Holocaust, civilians left Germany and people who were caught were put in concentration camps.

Since the 1950s the Arab-dominated government of Sudan has attempted to gain control of the country´s minorities living along the outskirts of the nation, resulting in more than 2.5 million civilians being killed, similar to the Holocaust millions died before a response from the world was gained. The genocide occurred due to decades of intense conflict between the north and the south of Darfur and in other areas. However in July 2011 South Sudan gained its independence, and the civil war ended, but the violence continues putting citizens in Darfur and bordering regions at risk. The violence in the newly independent country puts them endanger of destabilization.

In December 2013, three years after South Sudan split from Sudan, highly ethicized politics cause violence based on race. Salva Kiir, battles Nuer forced loyal to former vice president Riek Machar for control of key cities. Citizens are targeted murder, rape, assault, torture, based on their ethnic identity. For the first time the United Nations using it's Human Rights Up Front Initiative, has opened it's peacekeeping bases to civilians fleeing violence . This is similar to the Holocaust as people are being hurt based on their identity.

In the summer of 2014, the self-proclaimed Islamic State conducted an violent campaign against civilians in northern Iraq displacing more that 800,000 people in religious minorities resulting in hundreds if not thousands of deaths. This is similar to the Holocaust because both displaced and killed many people.
