Genocide in Darfur

Since 2003 the Sudanes Goverment and their allied militia, the Janjaweed have been killing and raping millions of their own people. The troops have been going around to villages murdering the men and rping the women. They have also been bombing innocent villages and towns with high powered military aircraft. Most of the attacks have been against people of the Fur, Zaghawa, and Masaalit ethnic groups. Over 200,000 people have been killed and 2.5 million people have been driven from their homes. since 2005 the violence has settled sown but people are still afraid to return to their homes because they are in fear they will be attacked again. The people in Darfur have to think about unspeakable things like rape and murder everyday it is extremely sad that anybody in the world would ever commit things as horrible as the carnage in Darfur.
