It sent humanitarian aid for people driven from their homes.

The United Nations and the "White" world have not yet gotten involved in the raging genocide in Darfur for two reasons onebecause the Americans are in coalition with the Sudan government and two their is nothing in it for the rest of the world to get out of getting involved in the whole mess. " money is the rot of all evil" and this is a perfect example since their is no way to make a profit then the United Nations will never get involved. it's sad but it's the truth and until the world decides toGrow a setand stop looking out for number one then I feel that we will see many more slaughtering of millions of innocent people before the "White" world gets involved.

From everything I can understand - the Muslim Arab Sudanese of the North are trying to rid Sudan of (or take-over and convert by force) all the Southern African Sudanese - many of whom are Christian (Catholic and other) or animist.

The region became the scene of a rebellion in 2003 against the Arab-dominated Sudanese government, with two local rebel groups - the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) and the Sudanese Liberation Army (SLA) - accusing the government of oppressing non-Arabs in favor of Arabs.

The government was also accused of neglecting the Darfur region of Sudan.

In response, the government mounted a campaign of aerial bombardment supporting ground attacks by an Arab militia, the Janjaweed.

The government-supported Janjaweed were accused of committing major human rights violations, including mass killing, looting, and systematic rape of the non-Arab population of Darfur. They have frequently burned down whole villages, driving the surviving inhabitants to flee to refugee camps, mainly in Darfur and Chad; many of the camps in Darfur are surrounded by Janjaweed forces.

By the summer of 2004, 50,000 to 80,000 people had been killed and at least a million had been driven from their homes, causing a major humanitarian crisis in the region.

Yes, Chad is a country on the continent of Africa.

Check out the related link for different events that happened in 1982.

When the conflict in Darfur began, a serious drought had just ended that had killed about 95,000 people. Things were still at a climax, and tensions were high, and in 2003 (i think) rebel groups began attacking government outposts to voice their aggrivation since they weren't being represented in the government and getting food.

Since these people were non-Arab, the government answered their attacks and complaints by killing them. Arabs had no reason to complain because they were being represented and fed, and the government used the non-Arab's attacks as excuses to kill them, calling their complaints, lies.

It's been 3 years since the Darfur genocide has begun and already 400,000 innocent people have been killed. Usually the meathod used it simply either killing everyone in the village and leaving their bodies rotting in a ditch, or they kill the men and rape the women because if a woman is not pure she cannot marry, therefore dooming her to die from poverty and starvation.

The attacks ARE government sponsored, but so far they are doing a good job of covering it up and threatening anyone who tries to intercede. If you have any more questions about this matter you can email me at:

the U.N. (united nations) is now taking an act in this travesty in Sudan. They have finally helped in 2005 and has been doing so till today.

Yes it is still going on. This war was started in 2003 and is still being continued.
