Darfur Now

Untill I watched the video Darfur Now i was unaware about modern day genocide. The people of Darfur are being killed because of conflicts between Arab nomads and African farmers. The Sudanese government is funding a group of people called the Janjaweed to attack the African villages. The government, however, denies any connection with the Janjaweed although evidence has been collected proving otherwise. Some have formed rebel armies to attempt to protect others from being attacked. the villagers that have been attacked are either displaced or killed. Awareness needs to be spread not only about Darfur, but about modern day genocide itself. As a student I can help spread awareness simply be telling a friend or family member about the crisis in Darfur.
