The four states that seceded later in 1861, had at first voted against secession on the sole basis over the issue of slavery. It was not until President Lincoln decided to send troops to the South to restore the union that the last four states decided to secede. Their decisions to secede were not based at all on the issue of slavery, but on the issue of the federal government having too much power and overstepping their bounds that they were given in the constitution, or so the southern states saw it. The issue of slavery was a main reason for the South’s secession but to the South, slavery was a right that they saw should be protected by the constitution. Slavery was not the only right that they saw
As president, Ben Ali was credited with delivering stability and a measure of economic prosperity, but he received widespread criticism for suppressing political freedoms. Six months after he was ousted, him and his wife were found guilty in absentia by a Tunisian court for embezzlement and misuse of public funds, and sentenced to 35 years in prison. Ben Ali was born to a modest family near the city of Sousse in 1936. After completing his education in France and the US, he rose up the hierarchy in the Tunisian security establishment, and served as ambassador to Poland in the early 1980s. He became prime minister in 1987, shortly before ousting Tunisia's first post-independence ruler, Habib Bourguiba, in a bloodless palace coup.

Nigerians were exploited for their resources and people. Even African treasures and artwork were stolen by Britain. Colonization hit the Nigerian's in many negative aspects rather than positives. World War II, the war created great economic strains, manifested particularly in the decline in real wages and the drop in living standards. During The Great Depression and World War II, Britain did not put money into Nigeria and as a result the economy fell.
The government became increasingly totalitarian, and resistance movements, encouraged by Ethiopia for its own strategic interests, sprang up across the country, eventually leading to civil war in 1991. In 1991, the first insurgent forces led by Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed, leader of the Somali Salvation Democratic Front, and President Ali Mahdi Mohamed was unrecognized as the interim president by some factions. In the period 1991-1992, a split in the southern United Somali Congress, which led efforts to unseat Abdirahman Jama Barre, caused an escalation in the civil war, especially in the Mogadishu

People are still dying and villages are still being destroyed. The question then arises as to “what is being done about it” and “is there being anything done about it?” The current Sudanese government continues to ignore what is going on in Darfur and refuses to take responsibility for its actions. They have not only ignored the problem but disrupt any actions or investigations that are ordered by the international community. There has been a lot of talk among both the international community as well as the United States on what to do about the conflict in Darfur. On April, 2006 the UN Security Council passed sanctions on high ranking members of the Sudanese government accusing them of war crimes against the Darfurian people.
This war was also considered inconvenient at that time. Also it corrupted almost every soldier’s mental state; because their families have claimed they have never been the same since. The current Iraq war follows similar guidelines. President Bush started the same problem with our soldiers but instead of it being the swamplands he invaded the desert lands of Iraq. Also he brought the idea of terrorism which is not worth fighting for.
In a single attack the combination of the Sudaneese army and the janjaweed 60,000 peoples lives were changed forever (Hueschen). Unlike Iraq where the government is trying to help the people of it’s country, the Sudaneese government are the one responsible for the suffering of it’s people. The European union and the African Union both say that the events in Darfur is not Genocide. However the U.S. congress disagrees (The Black Commentator). The former Nigerian president and also the former chair of the African union Obasanjo said in a press conference on September 23rd
