Darfur Conflict

Paper Summary:

This paper responds to several topics related to the war in the Darfur region of the Sudan, noting that the conflict in Darfur began in 2003 and involves an ongoing battle between a militant Arab group called the Janjaweed and the non-Arab peoples living in the region. The paper discusses how Sudanese government has been supporting the militants, though it pretends it is not. The conflict is described in the West as an example of "ethnic cleansing" or genocide.

From the Paper:

"Many of the thousands of deaths have been caused by starvation and disease, however, and not as part of a policy of extermination. Almost two million people have been displaced from their homes and have become refugees, many fleeing to neighboring Chad. The American government sent Colin Powell to see the refugee camps in Darfur in 2004, and he testified to Congress that genocide was being practiced there."
