    The Darfur conflict began in 2003 when black Arabs in the Darfur region of Sudan faced discrimination from the Sudanese government. The government supported Janjaweed militias who killed, raped, and displaced hundreds of thousands of people from minority tribes in Darfur. International estimates of the death toll have risen over time, reaching 480,000 by 2013. Villages were burned and contaminated water killed many people. Women and children were often tortured and raped. While some militias were following government orders, the violence targeted rival tribes. Survivors lost family and friends in horrific acts that they will never forget. International organizations like the African Union tried to broker ceasefires, but the violence continued. The genocide separated and killed people seen as different

    9 Factual Questions (expanded)

    1.)

    The Darfur problems began when the people began contesting the government. The
    black Arabs were begin discriminated against because they were black and they were being told
    that they weren't of the right religion. The government began sending out armies of men who were
    called the Janjaweed. These Janjaweed killed anyone who got in the way and soon they began to
    get out of control, raping women killing children and families for no reason at all. The government
    denied any association with the Janjaweed even though it was a widely known fact that they were
    in charge of them. The go through villages burning the homes and ravaging everything and
    forcing people away. There are millions of people who are displaced (in the ''wilderness'' with no
    food or water) Women are often killed simply for trying to go and fetch water for their families.

    2.)

    September 3, 2005 in one of the most remote places in Africa,


    an insurgency began unnoticed under the shadow of the war in Iraq in 2003,
    killing 350,000 to 400,000 people in 29 months by means of violence,
    malnutrition, and disease. The insurgency began virtually unnoticed in
    February 2003 it has, over the past two years, precipitated the first great
    episode of genocidal destruction in the 21st century. The victims are the nonArab or African tribal groups of Darfur, primarily the Fur, the Massaleit, and
    the Zaghawa, but also the Tunjur, the Birgid, the Dajo, and others. The
    Genocide has not stopped to this day, the horror continues on

    3.)

    Back in November 13, 2013 the UN estimated as many as 300,000


    people have been killed in the Darfur genocide but the Sudanese government
    says the death toll has been grossly inflated. Today the death toll is up to
    480,000

    4.)

    Most villages were burned down over the course of the genocide, killing
    many. The contamination in the water also managed to kill many to most of the
    rival tribes.

    5.)

    Many women and children were often times beaten or raped before
    being burned, de-limbed, killed, or put to work. Most tribes were not given an
    easy and quick death, most were tortured in many different ways. Whether it be
    put to work or raped.

    6.)

    Many of the aggressors were morally justified. Some of the aggressors


    were just following orders from President Omar Al-Bashir. Most aggressors were
    from rivaling tribes so they had no trouble killing and torturing the others.

    7.)

    "My home village of Korma and the villages surrounding it were burned
    last year, and 132 people were killed," said Ibrahim, who left Sudan 15 years ago
    to study economics in India. "All of them were related to me. These are people
    from my tribe." Many people lost their families and friends and were affected
    greatly by the losses they suffered. Anyone still alive from this horrible event, will
    never forget it.

    8.)

    In the spring of 2004, the African Union (AU) assumed the leading role in
    international efforts to broker a resolution to the conflict in Darfur. Shortly
    afterwards, on May 25, 2004, the UN Security Council made its first
    statement on the situation in response to a report by the UN High
    Commissioner on Human Rights. The Council expressed its concern about the
    humanitarian crisis in Darfur and indiscriminate attacks on civilians, and
    expressed support for the mediation efforts of the AU.AU efforts resulted in
    the signing of the N'djamena Humanitarian Ceasefire Agreement on April 8,
    2004, between the government of Sudan, the SLA and the JEM. This paved
    the way for an agreement signed in Addis Ababa on May 28, 2004, under
    which 80 AU monitors were to observe the ceasefire supported by a
    protection force of 300 Nigerian and Rwandan troops. However, the ceasefire
    was not observed.

    9.)

    They were all separated and chosen out because they were different. They
    were killed by the men organized by the government. Brought down to
    nothing, burned, killed, raped. Like they were nothing.
