This is a camp at Darfur or another one outside Darfur and it is really bad. This is how they live because of the Sudanese goverment and what they have limited rights, and not fully respected by their government. In the second picture you see lots of non-arab people. They are basicly fighing for food or whatever is being poured. It could be soup or cold tea eor whatever they can find to eat. ____________________________________________________________________
Everyday they are in danger because the government favors Arabs over Africans. The non-Arabs live horribly, because the government hates them. The government is Ethnic Cleansing the population of Darfur by starving them, burning them; brutally beat them and many other cruel punishments. As in one of the pictures shown the people are basically begging for food and some don’t get enough. The malnutrition problem is really bad in Darfur. About 400,000 people have died already from this cruel treatment. The people have suffered a lot and its getting worse. I took this quote from http://www.crimesofwar.org/onnews/news-darfur.html. The quote is “The deep causes of the rebellion lie in the feeling of the superiority and cultural elitism of the Arabs and of the resentment and perceived oppression and neglect on the point of the Africans.” The people are gunned down while they are weak from malnutrition. What they go through is what Hitler did to the Jews and sub humans. But instead of gas chambors they use refuge camps and raid them or just get to shoot them down for no reason. The non-arabs of Darfur can't do anything because they are defenseless and really weak from living conditions they experience even today. If what happens to them now and every day spreads to the rest of the world then what can we do.
