NATE'S REFLECTION

When we were assigned a part I had no idea what Darfur was or even where Sudan was, but now that I have study and pretty much read every article there is about it I have learned that these people need help and it will take more then one country to do that. Next, I think that this crisis shoud be taken care of soon because the death count is rising everyday. I think the UN needs to step in and stop the janjaweed and the government from killing innocent people. Lastly, the citizens didnt know why they were being killed or evacuated.

The biggest problem is that no one will step in and help these people. I think the UN need sto step in and do something to prevent this from happening again in the future. The people of sudan were evacuated into the desert and they were forced to live in garbage houses and terrible conditions to survive. The janjaweed were stealing money and taking goods that werent theirs to be taking.

I am very dissapointed that no action was taken to help out these inncoent people. I think that the UN needs to do something about this GENOCIDE before it gets even more out of hand, and to prevent these people from dieing. So far the number of deaths has reached a shockingly high, 400,000 people. Also about 2 million people have been subject to this crimal abuse. More and more people each day are suffering without the help of the united nations. In total, about 3 and a half million people would be dead if there wasnt any aid.

By reading these articles about the genocide, I learned that in Sudan the people have no say in anything. They have no idea why they are being forced out of there homes. Secondly, it shows that the people have no human rights what so ever. This event relates alot to the Holocaust because alot of people died because they were a different religion then the government and the janjaweed.

Lastly, to me it this shows alot of leadership expesically from the government and the janjaweed. I think it shows leadership because they could do whatever they wanted to the people and no one was there to stop them or to let them know what they were doing was bad and cruel. I feel bad for the people in Darfur because its not there fault they were born a different religion and now because of this they are being punished. The actions that the janjaweed and the government did to the people were not justified because the people were forced out of there homes and have to do everything they can to survive. This genocide has been going on for to long and its time for another nation to step in and do something about it.
