south and north
The Janjaweed were attacking the Africans of Sudan (South Darfur)
The conflict is very complex, but the basic information is the following: African Christians and Animists in the Darfur region of Sudan were relentlessly attacked, raped, and butchered by the Arab Janjaweed militias in a systematic way and were endorsed by the government of Sudan to engage in this behavior.
most likely there were people most likely the ones being killed that would have had resistence towards the genocide as well as people against the goverment or group doing the killing
Sudan is located in North East Africa, directly south of Egypt
Leaders in Darfur firstly was asking for autonomy and full control of their economy (having in mind abundance of gas and petroleum). This was not approved by Sudanese Govt. Years passed and at point Darfurians organized themselves and demanded freedom for their territory. Sudan at all not liked it. Started arresting and harrousment. Darfurians revolted, took some arms in their own hand. Then Sudanese Govt (President Umr Al Bashar), created and sponsored Janjaweed Militia. In 2003, having the support with arms and money the Janjaweed (also backed by Sudanese Army) launched attacks to kill the people indiscremenantly. This is the beginning of mass killing, diplacement of ordinary people, burning, raping..and more. This is genocide!
the darfur genocide is occurring in the western region of the country of Sudan along the border with chad.
Darfur didn't show genocide, Darfur faced the brutality of the genocide. It was imposed on the people of Darfur, Sudan by Umar Al Bashar, Janjaweed and the ethnic Sudanese Arabs
in Darfur
The Janjaweed were attacking the Africans of Sudan (South Darfur)
Umr Al Bashar was the President of Sudan. He sponsored the Janjaweed militia for killing of innocent Darfur people.
It was Janjaweed militia supported by the Umar Al Bashar government of Sudan
YES. Genocide is the deliberate extermination of a political, racial, color, ect. group. This is exactly what is going on in Darfur. People in Sudan who are black and NOT Muslim, are being killed. I am not saying that Muslims are bad, but that it is an Islamic majority, that can only be counted as a handful of all Muslims, in control of Sudan that is responsible for the genocide. I must stress that not all people of the Islamic faith are bad and think this way, just these handfuls. The same would go for Christianity and the Westboro Baptist Church
Genocide is currently taking place in the Darfur region of Sudan.
And at that moment, I knew that I had to do something about the genocide occurring in Darfur, Sudan.
Too many to count with my fingers.

The Darfur genocide is a particular blot on the human rights record of Sudan.
