= The Darfur Genocide = [|Genocide Intervention] 400,000 // What // does this number look like to you? This is the number of people that__ starved to death in Darfur __, not including death from ethnic violence. Now what exactly is happening in Darfur? Darfur is the western region in Sudan, a country in Africa. The Darfurians are in conflict with the Sudanese government and the Arabs. The Arabs' militia are called Janjaweed. Janjaweed literally means 'a man with a gun on a horse (Who are the Janjaweed?) .' Before the Darfurians got into conflict with the Sudanese government, they had problems with the Arabs, who were nomads. Most of the Darfurians were farmers and needed land to plant crops, and the Arabs needed land for their animals to graze upon  (Who are the Janjaweed?). This caused friction between them due to lack of land. Now, the real problem started in 2002 when Darfur radicals, the **Justice and Equality Movement ** and the **Sudan Liberation Movement**, attacked Khartoum for representation in the Sudanese government (Sudan repels rebel attack on capital). The Sudanese government refused and found a way to keep them quiet. **Killing them .** The Sudan government supplied the Janjaweed with ammunition and soldiers. For seven years the Janjaweed's target were the black, Africans mainly Darfurians. // During // the seven years, childrens in Darfur were either** raped,  abducted, tortured, <span style="color: rgb(243, 0, 255);">or used as labor force **<span style="color: rgb(243, 0, 255);"> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">(report: Children In Darfur Tortrued, Raped **<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">) <span style="color: rgb(243, 0, 255);">. ** They grew up only knowing the conflict and not proper education. The village that they lived in is only remembered as fiery flames and continuous bombing. The civilians of Darfur are in a 16.1% of malnutrition and are <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">straving to death ( UNICEF - Sudan - Darfur - overview<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">). The Janjaweed poisoned the streams causing fresh water to be not available. WFP, UNICEF and IDP are constantly helping Darfur, but with the Janjaweed hijacking more than 225 vehicles, these organizations were forced to reduce food rations (UNICEF - Sudan - Darfur - overview). Refugee camps set up by these organizations are in bad shape as well. <span style="color: rgb(255, 145, 0);">Shortage of food, <span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">bad sanitary conditions and <span style="color: rgb(0, 255, 0);">shortage of fresh water - this is the conditions of the refugee camps. Tired of the genocide, Darfurians are moving out to its neighboring country, Chad. 2.5 million people sought refuge and 2 million people lost their homes (UNICEF - Sudan - Darfur - overview). = = = The Holocaust =

However, these were merely early signs of the genocide. It all started when Hitler came up with the <span style="color: rgb(255, 145, 0);">"Final Solution," which was a plan to destroy the Jews and the <span style="color: rgb(255, 145, 0);">"undesirables. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">(The Holocaust)" The undesirables included the Jews, Gypsies, Slavs, homosexuals and mental/physically disabled people (page 14).

Concentration camps were built in Auschwitz, Dachau, and Belsen. In these concentration camps, the Jews did hard labor like making ammunition. When there was no work to be done, the Germans ordered them to do meaningless work to keep control over them. Everyday, hundreds of Jews were <span style="color: rgb(255, 31, 0);">killed in gas chambers, and when there was no room in the gas chambers, the Germans dug a pit in the ground and placed the Jewish children inside and <span style="color: rgb(255, 31, 0);">burnt them alive (YouTube - Surviving the Holocaust). Everyday, hundreds of Jews were transported to concentration camps on <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">cattle cars. // One // of the most cruel actions in the holocaust was the<span style="color: rgb(255, 145, 0);"> "twin experiement." In the concentration camp of Auschwitz, doctor Josef Mengele performed this experiment. Doctor Mengele was a very profoundly educated man who seeked for the answers to genetic mystery. He thought that twins were the answers to the genetic mystery and experimented with them. <span style="color: rgb(255, 145, 0);">Only 200 of the 3000 twins survived from this experiment, but excluding the experimenting part, the twins were treated very nicely since they were "Mengele's children (Mengele's Children)." But everyday, twins had tests that required blood testing, mysterious injections, and surgeries without anesthetic (Mengele's Children). //** " **// //** One day, my twin brother, Tibi, was taken away for some special experiments. Dr. Mengele had always been more interested in Tibi. I am not sure why - perhaps because he was the older twin.**
 * Mengele made several operations on Tibi. One surgery on his spine left my brother paralyzed. He could not walk anymore. Then they took out his sexual organs. After the fourth operation, I did not see Tibi anymore.**
 * I cannot tell you how I felt. It is impossible to put into words how I felt. They had taken away my father, my mother, my two older brothers - and now, my twin. **// (Mengele's Children) //** " **//
