Jacky Sosa 2nd Block Darfur Genocide: Final Draft One million, one million living and breathing people like us, who are a part of this magnificent world, are tragically enduring the most horrendous, heart-breaking, and sadly, too familiar term people, just like us could ever imagine. Genocide, the systematic extermination of a national, ethnical, racial, or religiously group of people. The unfortunate victim this time? Darfur in West Sudan, Africa. "In recent years, the people of Darfur have been systematically attacked by the Sudanese army and by proxy-militia controlled by them as well.
The Rwandan Genocide of 1994 witnessed the horrifying genocide of 800,000 (Diep.2007:6) people and left a country devastated by mass famine and atrocious acts of war, such as torture and rape. The ensuing outcry of “never again” (Diep.2007:6) from the international community however, appears to have been nothing but moral lip service as global society has yet again lain as insidious witness to a similar conflict that emerged within Darfur in 2003. Similarity exists between the Rwandan and Darfur conflict in that both sets of conflicts have taken place as struggles over power and resources between ethnic tribes and dominant elites. Though the major similarity of these conflicts is the relatively slow and at times indifferent response of the
Anthropology Second Film Paper Assignment God Grew Tired Of Us In 1983 the civil war of North and South Sudan broke out because of years of fighting of the Arab North against the Black Christian and Animus South, religion and oil were the main reasons behind the fighting. In 1987, the Muslim government sent out an announcement to kill all male children in the South regardless of age. In order to survive the bloody war, thousands fled from Sudan to Ethiopia. When the Muslim government reached word of those who fled, the 86,000 men fled from Ethiopia to Kenya. The 12,000 men who were able to survive when they reached their destination were referred to as the “Lost Boys of Sudan”.
An example is in the Rwandan Genocide in which 800,000 Tutis were killed by Rwandan extremists. The Hutu controlled the radio stations which encouraged them to kill the Tutis “cockroaches”. The group were dehumanised in which their members were seen as worthless and not worthy of moral consideration. The last idea is that of situational variables. ZImbardo argues that the powerful influence on situation can have on people’s
Al Anfal literally means the spoils of war. The Al Anfal genocide was led by Saddam Hussein's Ba’athist regime. The Al Anfal genocide was an eight stage, carefully planned attempt to destroy the Kurdish population between February 23rd and September 6th 1988.

2008 (April): The UN predict that 300,000 people have been killed in the five year Darfur conflict. 2008 (May): Sudanese government bombs hit schools and market places in Darfur, killing 13 civilians.

These terms appeared frequently and with high intensity, shaping a negative image of Malcolm X in the media. After Malcolm returned from Mecca, he announced that he no longer indicted the entire white race as racists and devils, and yet he was still connected with black supremacy. Other terms that cluster around extremist and appear in relation to Black Muslims and Malcolm X are enemy, confrontation, and bitter. These labels have implications of violence. Violence from a minority group against the white society is extremely disturbing to that population.
Abou El Fadl is particularly critical of Wahhabism, a puritanical revision of Islam propagated by the Saudi monarchy. While Wahhabism claims to be the "straight path" of Islam, it is, according to Abou El Fadl, an “false” form of Islam, forged in the 18th-century slaughter of Muslims and non-Muslims alike. To call it "fundamentalist," he asserts, is misleading, since it defys fundamental Islamic truths and distorts Islam by rejecting any attempt to interpret the divine law historically or contextually (11-12). Fadl utilizes Quranic passages as a way to support claims of the danger behind interpreting scriptural passages that were recorded in another period in history without assessing the historical context and background. Fadl further illuminates the dangers of such misunderstanding and an absence of historical understanding and context in which a passage is written through the examination of the passage “fight those among the People of the Book who do not believe in God or the Hereafter, who do not forbid what God and His Prophet have forbidden, and who do not acknowledge the religion of truth- fight them until they pay the poll tax with willing submission and feel themselves subdued” (13).
Omar’s government is under attack by combined armies of over 60,000 rebels. Omar was the president during 2005 when the Islamic theologian, Hassan al-Turabi, allowed the terrorist Osama Bin Laden, to establish headquarters of the al-Qaeda group in Sudan(Natsios). The fight between Sudan and South Sudan started over 5 decades ago due to the fact that South Sudan wanted to be its own country, but Sudan wouldn’t let that happen. Sudan thinks everyone
