Abstract
This paper describes the current humanitarian crisis in Darfur. It explains that there are many reasons why the international community should become involved in this terrible situation. One is that we have a moral obligation to do so and another is that there is a need to set an example to the Khartoum government, that genocide is not acceptable. Finally, success in Darfur would gain the United States and other countries that came to Darfur's aid, a political reward of having another democratic nation as an ally. This paper explores all three of these reasons.

From the Paper
"This humanitarian crisis should not turn into a political pawn to be used by the Bush Administration, however. The U.S. has been known for many decades to promote peace in Sudan, so of course the Bush Administration wants the same credit. Peace is not being achieved right now, and the U.S. government needs to acknowledge this. Booker and Colgan write, "The Administration had hoped that such an agreement would allow it to lift sanctions on Sudan. This, in turn, would permit US oil companies to pursue a share of the country's recently developed oil wealth. Such interests, however, cannot be allowed to compromise a larger moral obligation." "

Abstract
This paper attempts to analyze mainstream and alternative media coverage of the Darfur genocide. After introducing some key figures, the paper goes into a statistical analysis of actual article volume in four publications: Z Magazine, Mother Jones, USA Today, and the San Francisco Chronicle. The paper's central theme is that, while mainstream publications pale in comparison to alternative magazines concerning coverage on Darfur, the former must step in and lighten the burden for the cash-strapped alternative publications. More specifically, the thesis maintains that the newspapers' indifference to the catastrophe is part of a larger policy towards Africa.

From the Paper
"A. Opening sentences will give some basic information about the atrocities in the Darfur region: perpetrators and victims, number of dead, and magnitude of the refugee crisis. B. Introduces choice of media outlet: newspapers and magazines. Television programs, being under immense pressure to cater to an entertainment-seeking audience, are also relevant to the discussion. Paper, however, will focus on newspapers and, as print publications allow for more detailed and thorough analysis. That introduces this question..."

Abstract
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."

Abstract
This fifteen page paper compares the American led intervention in Iraq in 2003 with arguments in favor of international intervention into the Darfur region of Sudan. This provides a useful framework within which to analyze cynical Bush Administration motivations, for researching this issue exposes the hypocritical foundation upon which George W. Bush's foreign policy rests. Examining such a research question provides the writer with a forum in which the differences between the Iraq intervention and the potential Darfur intervention may be compared.

Abstract
A review of five articles dealing with the crisis in Darfur and efforts to persuade China to do something to ease the situaition. The reason seems to be that China has a major invrstment in Suidan and 60 percent of Sudan's oiol is sold to China.

From the Paper
The Media's Take on China, Darfur and Required Action Too many people believe that the media is too liberal and that their reporting is usually slanted to the Left of political center. There are some others who believe the media needs to separate objectivity and opinion. The five articles concerning the West's view of what Mainland China should do to alleviate the slaughter in Darfur treads a very thin line between the two. On the one hand, one can believe that China is nudging closer to asking the Sudan for some positive action because of economic, rather than humanitarian reasons. While one article explains that China has begun

Abstract
This paper explores two major international situations - Iraq and Darfur - that necessitate (or necessitated) international intervention and looks at the differences or similarities between them. This paper also comments upon the impotence of the United Nations to affect meaningful change in various 'hot spots' throughout the world - either because of corruption or the difficulty that arises from trying to achieve a consensus among various nations on various issues.

From the Paper
"The United States - led intervention in Iraq sparked possibly more international debate than any diplomatic foray of recent years. Supporters of the U.S. action praised it as a bold effort to free a people from tyranny and protect America from further terrorist harm. Critics, on the other hand, interpreted the invasion of Iraq as little more than an imperialist oil-grab and a disingenuous assault that did nothing to bolster America's security. In recent months, the debate surrounding the appropriate time, place and measure of international intervention has seen a new international crisis that makes the discussion all the more pressing and important."

Abstract
This paper looks at how the present situation in Darfur emerged, the main groups involved and what the international community needs to do in order to prevent such calamities from happening again - and this particular calamity from getting worse. The paper concludes that a more interventionist global community must be both active in quelling troubling situations before they become humanitarian crises - and it must also apply pressure to neighboring countries to stabilize the regions of which they are a part.

Abstract
This paper describes the conflict and resulting persecution and poverty in the Sudan. Firs, the paper describes the coup that overthrew the government of the Sudan. Then, it addresses the multi-ethnic, multi-religious groups that make up the nation. The final section of the paper deals with the problems specific to the Darfur region.

From the Paper
"Background to the Crisis in the Darfur Region of the Sudan, in Africa The Government of the Sudan (GOS) took power in the Sudan in a coup in 1989. The GOS comprises Muslim people of Arab ethnicity, and has ruled the Sudan on an Arab-Muslim platform ever since, ignoring the needs of other ethnic groups. This has led to many conflicts in this multi-ethnic, multi-religious country. In particular, there has been conflict with the people of the Darfur region, who have resisted the GOS. The map below..."

The People who will be Saved - "Make known among the nations what He has done" (Isaiah 12:4)
Long term Vision: What Would it be Like if Everything God Desires for the People of Darfur were to Blossom in the Next Twenty-Five Years?

From the Paper
"The Christian Mission should develop many partnerships, to ensure that it can be truly effective in the long term in this area. Suggested partners would be the UN World Food Program, the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Doctors Without Borders, the U.S. Agency for International Development, Amnesty International, the International Crisis Group, and the World Health Organization. The Christian Mission can in fact learn from these partners, as many of them are already well aware of the extreme health and other problems in the area that need to be addressed. In addition, the Christian Mission should be aware of a rapidly growing movement advocating for humanitarian intervention in several countries. People and organizations that are part of this movement can be approached as sources of funding to help the Christian Mission achieve its goals in this region."
