Darfur By: Saba Zahir

What is Darfur? Darfur is a region located in the west of Sudan, Africa Arab Muslims and African Muslims live in Darfur.

What is going on in Darfur? Basically, Muslim Arabs are killing Muslim blacks in Darfur The Sudanese government sends Janjaweed, who are armed militia to Darfur The Janjaweed destroy villages and kill everyone who lives there They gang rape women and children, shoot men, and separate families

How is this a genocide? about 400,000 people have been killed over 3 million people have been displaced Thousands are starving

Why haven’t we stopped this? There are many organizations that are working to help Darfur, but not enough actions are taken by the government The Sudanese government wouldn’t let the UN peace keepers into the country, so the UN couldn’t help stop this Our government is afraid to pressure Khartoum because he might stop giving us information about suspected terrorists

Many people don’t even know what Darfur is As students, we have the responsibility to do all that we can to help put a stop to this How does this affect us?

Suggested solutions The least we can do is raise awareness about the situation in Darfur Here are other possible solutions for US Congress to consider. Darfur: The 2009 Supplemental Appropriations Bill provides $50 million to support peacekeepers, the peace process, and the new diplomatic team under the Special Envoy for Sudan. Darfur: House Resolution 241 comments International Criminal Court for issuing a warrant for the arrest of Omar Hassan Ahmad al-Bashir, President of the Republic of Sudan, for war crimes and crimes against humanity. Ask Rep. Waxman to cosponsor.

Why we should take actions Innocent people are losing their homes, starving, and being killed every day, and we have the power and responsibility to stop it We signed a UN treaty to stop future genocides

Why we shouldn’t take actions Its not our problem America has its own issues to deal with Its not worth risking a war

Who do we write to about Darfur? US Senator Dianne Feinstein US Senator Barbara Boxer US Rep. Howard L. Berman US Rep. Henry A. Waxman
