Today, I saw a video about the genocide in Darfur. The video, with its emotional appeal, is a documentry about the homless and rebels who lost their villages, homes, and loved ones by the Sudanese government. Though they deny any connection , we suspect that they hire Janjaweed, or devils on horseback, to raid villages or kill defenceless people. All this started in 2003 and, unfortuntly, still continues today. Many countries have volunteered, however, the Sudanese government refuses us, along with other countries that wish to help.The only help we give them is food and hope. Supplies to help with inguries is also forbiddin. By, 2007, UN estimated that 2000 people were dead. This is the first time our country has declared genocide while it's still happening. Many people help support and donate to local centers to help with the conflict. We can only hope that they will hold up in Darfur until we can help them and bring justice to their government. Until then, they will continue to fight.
