Darfur is a terrible place. With innocent people living there, being killed and the women are being rapped. There are 160 camps in Darfur, the camps are their safety place. When they go on the outside of their camp, the women could possibly be rapped or the men could be beaten. The women and men have lost a great deal of things. Their crops and animals were taken, their land was taken, and their family (possibly killed). The enemeies have taken children and have been teaching them how to fight and kill. Why would you do such a thing to children?
The women in Darfur have to go in groups in order to have water. If they do not go in big groups they could be killed or rapped. The Darfur poeple have to get food from the outside. They have to cut wood to stay warm during the night and winter. They believe that if you kill a living thing, it is a sin. They had to get wood outside of the camp and they were hurt bad by the presidents workers. So, now they are cutting off of a living tree and they feel terrible.
As we sit here and get schooling and saftey promised to us, food on the table and we get to stay warm. What do they get? Hurt, killed, and rapped? Why are we special? If they are getting treated like this, then everyone should be getting treated like this. They deserve what we deserve. They should be able to sleep and get wood, and be able to get water with out being scared. People need to speak out and help those who can not help themselves. They need to be helped, and we are the ones that can help.

Darfur needs your help
What i've lbacks. earned about Darfur is that, their always under attack and they have no clothes or animals. Because when they got attacked they took all their animals and food. The women had to carry there children on their backs and some women even got bet in the back with their babies on there backs. Some babies even got killed because there mother had got bet in the back while they were still on there
Darfur Now
This week in class, we watched a very touching documentary, Darfur Now. This documentary not only made me aware of what has been happening in Darfur, but also made me want to lend a helping hand in putting an end to the horrible things that hundreds of thousands of innocent people have had to endure.
The Janjaweed, or"Devils on horseback" as some people like to call them, have been torturing and killing the people of Darfur for many years now.When the Janjaweed goes on an attack, the village being invaded usually endure the following treatment: houses are burned, animals and crops are taken, any people are killed, womenget visibly raped in front of other villagers, people are beaten, and small children are taken. Since this is occuring more and more often, many tribes have banded together to create one large village. Villages that are closer together are safer than villages alone. But outside the mega- villages, it is very unsafe.
In the 1970's, a very similarevent occured in Argentina. One lawyer who helped put an end to the genocide there was hired to help put an end to the events happening in Darfur. In the documentary he is shown telling his story and in court. Two generals were prosecuted thanks to this generous man.
In my opinion, the trajedies here need to come to and end. This documentary has made me want to put forth efforts in this area to help the Darfurians.I will tell the people I know about Darfur.

In my 9th grade Geography class we watched a documentary about Darfur. I learned that that this is a very serious problem. When I watched this video it made me think how lucky I am to live in such a safe place. I think the U.S should send people over to help out. i will tell the people about the problems in Darfur.

During my 9th grade year at East Robertson my Geography teacher decided to let us watch a documentary about the crisis going on in Sudan. The government has been suppling guns and other weapons to the Janjaweed so they can go and kill out all the Darfurians for no reason at all.
This crisis is called a genocide, a mass killing of a certain group of people. If we don't end this now, then it will most likely end up like Hitler and Germany during the 2nd World War. The world needs to come together and put an end to this massacre. Join now to the fight!

In my 9th grade World Geography class we watched a video about Darfur. I learned that this ia a very important problem. the video kinda made me feel sad. I think the United States should send people to arrest the whole government. I can write letters to the president about the situation. What can you do to help Darfur.

Darfur Blog
Most things would not give me the incentive to advocate my opinion or help greatly but the happenings in Darfur are excessively cruel and needs to cease immediately. I was informed,through the film Darfur Now, that people are either harmed or killed everyday in the Sudan area in or around Darfur. As a student i can't prevent exclusive events from occurring to the highest degree but I can absolutely do my best and excel to express the tragedies present. More of the population needs to try even the slightest bit to care for or support these poor,innocent inhabitants of this area.

More of the population needs to try even the slightest bit to care for or support these poor, innocent inhabitants of this area. As much as I can do is explain the trouble-some occurrences to close friends or even go as far as writing the governor of my state. Even telling one single person of the tragic dilemmas would help the cause that much more. I'm sure that I would like to help this problem for various reasons and some are far too complex to even say. But my main point will remain to do and find perpetual peace for Darfur and hopefully it will end in a pleasing result.
