Genocide in Sudan

The people involved are the Sudanese government and there military, as well as the civilians living in the darfur region. The things that are happening there are abuse of human rights. The civilians are the ones who the government's military goes after. The military launches ground and are assaults on different tribes and villages and in some cases will wipe the whole group out. The area of the conflict is a region of Sudan known as Darfur. This genocide has been taking place since at least 2003, but some believe that it has existed since Sudan gained its independence over fifty years ago. There are many reasons why it has happened. A lot of the natural resource that the government has is located in the southern parts of the country. The government is located in the north, so it is trying wipe out the tribal groups in Darfur to be able to use and exploit the land. Those in the north feel they are superior to the tribal people's because of the different races and ethnicity's. Another thing the government does is they try to stop any relief or aid from coming into the country. The people there need food and water and the government tries to prevent the little help they do get from happening. How this happens, is out of hatred and greed. They want the land and resources and they also hate the people of Darfur because they have different religions and ethnicity. It relates to speaking the unspeakable because the horrors that genocide produce must be told to everybody so that we can all understand it and try and do something to prevent it. I don't understand why in this country we only think of ourselves, why should we have freedom and liberties while people in place like Darfur don't have any freedom what so ever.
