Aaron Barretts Reflection

In this assignment I learned a whole lot of things that I never had previously known were going in our times of 2007 where the people are much more sophisticated. Also I thought that now and days even after what happened in the holocaust that they would never do such things that are identical to the holocaust. I guess I was wrong about that. At the moment you are reading this people are being slaughtered by people who live in the same country as them. This is happening in the Darfur Region of Sudan. All because of what there religion/ethnicity is. This conflict has been going on for more than 4 years. How long have you known about it?

This shows that human rights and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights are not so much enforced by the U.N during the time of the conflict. They may have trials later on and after but that doesn't help when it was at its worst. It doesn't stop the bloodshed fro happening. This Event relates to the holocaust so very much. The holocaust and what is happening in Darfur are alike because they are both being killed by people in their own countries. Also that they are being killed because of their ethnicity makes them alike.

This event denys the ideals of humanism. Obviously because people are being treated unfairly ll because of the ethnic backround. These people are not equal they are considered by those killing them that they are subhuman. In this case in particular you can obviously that humanism is not even a word in the Darfur region. They are treated below the Janjaweed and below the government. Humanism doesn't mean anything in the Darfur region of Sudan.

The leadership of Darfur is very poor and inconsiderate. Omar Hasan Al-Bashir is doing nothing. He and the government are really helping the Janjaweed slaughter the different ethnic groups in Darfur. I feel they could do so much more in helping the people that help them and vote for them. I am feeling a lot of sorrow for those who are being killed. But only my word can not change what is going on over there others have to contribute. What bothers me most is the U.N is supposed to solve these issues and stop the bloodshed but they aren't doing much at all.

In conclusion the Sudan conflict is a genocide.people are doing nothing to stop national sovereignty. It is presiding over human rights. That should not happen the U.N should step in and put a halt to it. I believe this event is inhumane. This should be thought about carefully and be helped out with to end this. Things like this shouldn't happen especially after the Holocaust.
