Ethnic Minorities in the Darfur Region Reflection

The Sudan Genocide was a terrible thing and many innocent people were killed by their own government. Ethnic minorities were treated as nothing, it didn't matter how young you were or how old, they were all killed. This started the affair of National Sovereignty and Human rights, its obvious that these human rights were violated because the Declaration of Human Rights state that all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. In the Sudan Genocide this didn't happen at all.


I feel sorry for all the ethnic minorities in the Darfur region on Sudan because no one deserves the utter cruelness. Innocent babies, women, men and children were either killed or were left to starve. If i was the president of Sudan i would do everything in my power to to stop the Janjaweed who are killing innocent people. These innocent people were thrown into refugee camps which was not healthy at all. The refugee camps were made out of sticks and dirty blankets, should innocent people who maybe are just a different ethnicity be treated like this? No, not at all.


It's very sad to see that National Sovereignty is more important that Human Rights because even though people are a different ethnicity or race than other people, Human Rights should still be the number 1 priority. The Janjaweed was trying to bring ethnic cleansing, but for what? There is no point of doing this because if they thought about it that if they were the ones who were the ethnic minority they would be killed, wouldn't they want to be spared? The things that are going through these peoples heads are amazing because its hard to think that someone could be so cruel.


The Darfur Region of Sudan Genocide is very similar to the Holocaust that took place in Germany and Poland. This is very similar because people who were Jews were not thought as a German citizen and were first put into ghettos which were in horrible condition and was overcrowded. Then, they were put into concentration camps and were either killed if they were weak or were worked like dogs.Now in the Sudan Genocide ethnic minorities were stripped from their home and killed or were sent into refugee camps which were in almost the same condition as the concentration camps. These people were rarely given food and some starved to death, the United Nations was made to stop these kind of things. But for some reason they made this go way to far, what happened?
'

Since 2003 ethnic minorities have been stripped from their home and taken to refugee camps. Recently it has been known that about 400.000 people have been killed and 2.5 million have been internally displaced. This is corruption because even though the Sudan Government denies helping these groups, there are facts that the Sudan Government is indeed helping these rebels. It is cruel for many reasons, women are raped in front of their loved ones, men are chained together and put into burning huts, and children are kidnapped from there family. This needs to be stopped now because kids there have no future, all they see is hate and death. My opinion is that instead of wasting time in Iraq, soldiers all across the world should be in the Darfur region of Sudan stopping as the UN put it " the worst Humanitarian crisis in the world today"
