Darfur Genocide by Carolyn Pottebaum https://padlet.com/carolyn_pottebaum/498ppym44wfq en-us 2019-01-16 15:00:38 UTC 2023-05-26 19:01:58 UTC hello@padlet.com Background information carolyn_pottebaum https://padlet.com/carolyn_pottebaum/498ppym44wfq/wish/321255732 What is genocide?- The methodical effort to annihilate a certain group of people, especially because of their race, ethnic origin, or faith.

"Government troops from the neighboring country of Chad pursued the rebels into Darfur....It also fueled Darfur's ethnic tensions with propaganda about how "Africans" had denied "Arabs" their rights."

"In may 2000, a so-called Black Book was published. The unknown authors presented facts demonstrating that Khartoum's neglect of Darfur and other regions remote from the capital was intentional. The book's goal was to move the Sudanese people to take action that would bring about profound change in Sudan." 

"Also in 2001, Fur and Zaghawa rebel leaders formed the Darfur Liberation Front to fight the NIF and Janjaweed. The masalit joined the DFL later that year." 

It started in 2003, the first century. Still to this day with violence, killing, manslaughter, rape and more. 

"Attacks on Darfur villages commonly begin with Sudanese Air Force bombings. Air campaigns are often followed by Janjaweed militia raids. All remaining village men, women, and children are either murdered or forced to flee. Looting, burning food stocks, enslaving and raping women and children, and stealing livestock are common. Dead bodies are tossed in wells to contaminate water supplies and entire villages are burned to the ground."]]> 2019-01-16 15:02:04 UTC https://padlet.com/carolyn_pottebaum/498ppym44wfq/wish/321255732 Research Question 1: The Darfur Genocide happened because of race. carolyn_pottebaum https://padlet.com/carolyn_pottebaum/498ppym44wfq/wish/321730962 Written in the book "The Darfur Genocide" it says "Also in 2001, Fur and Zaghawa rebel leaders formed the Darfur Liberation Front to fight the NIF and Janjaweed. The masalit joined the DFL later that year." 

It started in 2003, the first century. Still to this day with violence, killing, manslaughter, rape and more. 

The article "Janjaweed" On ABC- CLIO "Attacks on Darfur villages commonly begin with Sudanese Air Force bombings. Air campaigns are often followed by Janjaweed militia raids. All remaining village men, women, and children are either murdered or forced to flee. Looting, burning food stocks, enslaving and raping women and children, and stealing livestock are common. Dead bodies are tossed in wells to contaminate water supplies and entire villages are burned to the ground."

The Janjaweed attacked darfurians like kids, women, men, any type of age and gender based of race. They burned down their houses and misplace millions of people.

 The international response to Darfur states "One reason the international community finds the Darfur problem difficult to address is that state reliance on excessive force against ethnic or racial groups seeking greater autonomy is not unique to Sudan."

Sudan however is fairly common fighting over a superior race/religion making it more prone to the genocide happening and a lot easier to take such a horrid and traumatic action.

 according to the victims and perpetrators "The first genocide of the 21st century, the Darfur genocide has caused the deaths of approximately 400,000 Darfuris, and displaced more than three million people. While the conflict has faded from the spotlight, ongoing violence continues to displace, injure, and kill people today" 
Victims faced horrific times that were quite traumatizing 

The Victims and prep"Victims of the Darfur genocide has been the darfurians. They didn't do anything, at all, whatsoever, and yet they persist getting raped, killed, beaten, burnt every minute of the day, being mortally tortured. Women get raped everyday, then left in that same place, just left to die. Men getting burned and beaten. Children getting beaten, burned, raped, and killed and it just isn't right to be doing this to them, they did nothing to deserve this kind of torture."

This has to be a group of sick people to kill people who haven't did a thing to them! I couldn't imagine being in the victims place, at all. They don't have a care in the world, for anyone else but themselves."]]> 2019-01-22 15:21:53 UTC https://padlet.com/carolyn_pottebaum/498ppym44wfq/wish/323031199 Research Question 2: The tramatic reaction to the Darfur Genocide. carolyn_pottebaum https://padlet.com/carolyn_pottebaum/498ppym44wfq/wish/323271698 A lot clearly are still struggling to this day loosing family from being displaced to starvation and being displaced.
in the website Victims and Perpetrators it states "Hundreds are still dying each day in Darfur from starvation, disease and violence. With fighting continuing between rebel forces and government troops, more and more people are being driven from their homes, joining the ranks of the 2.4 million already internally displaced and the 200,000 refugees in Chad. Government military attacks continue on black African farming communities and on IDP camps, supported by the Janjaweed militia. Women and girls continue to be raped searching for firewood outside the camps while those inside remain totally dependent on international aid."

A lot, if not all of them who were affected by this genocide, experienced extreme trauma and probably shock beyond what they can handle on their own.

 According The International Response to Darfur "One reason the international community finds the Darfur problem difficult to address is that state reliance on excessive force against ethnic or racial groups seeking greater autonomy is not unique to Sudan. Other governments bent on maintaining the dominance of a particular ethnic group have also waged brutal wars against their own populations. The Russian Federation, for example, has conducted a scorched earth campaign against the Chechens. A veto-wielding permanent member of the Security Council, Russia has opposed diplomatic pressure or sanctions against the Sudanese government for fear of setting a precedent."
The responses other countries and Sudan itself that gets put forward to help what is happening to Sudan, Africa. 

Looking at the website "Crisis in Darfur" it states "On 4 March 2009, the ICC issued an arrest warrant for Al-Bashir on five counts of crimes against humanity (murder, torture, rape, extermination, and forcible transfer) and two counts of war crimes (intentionally directing acts against civilians and pillaging). While the ICC judges said they did not have sufficient evidence to support charges of genocide, they did find that Al-Bashir had played an "essential role in (the) . . . coordinating . . . design (and) implementation” of a counter-insurgency campaign in which the attacks were “widespread” and “systematic” and followed “a similar pattern” to genocide." 

They held people responsible for the such intolerable acts they've done not to only show an example but to also prevent it from happening again. They are bringing the people who are guilty for violating millions of peoples human rights to justice. Making sure those people don't get put in charge of anything for a long time.]]> 2019-01-23 00:31:36 UTC https://padlet.com/carolyn_pottebaum/498ppym44wfq/wish/323271698 How did the US respond? carolyn_pottebaum https://padlet.com/carolyn_pottebaum/498ppym44wfq/wish/323278945

The Bush administration, just like the administrations before him, has not committed itself one hundred percent to stopping the foreign genocide." 

"By the time Clinton was driven to act, the genocide had already taken its toll and hundreds of thousands of Rwandan lives were lost. Even when Clinton did act, he still only sent support in the form of humanitarian relief and refrained from calling the tragedy genocide."
