Yes,there is a huge genocide going on in Darfur and it gets absolutely no attention.Now I can understand what JustBlaze says,the United Nations ignores them and makes pretend it's not going on.This is just like the genocide with Hitler and the Jews,except no one is trying to take over all of Europe.

I would compare it to more like Rwanda.Next, this is horrible. I mean it is absolutely dispicable that people would do this, but at least the Sudanese Government agreed to the UN offer.
Obviously Germany was worst but not by much.The german people acted as if there was nothing going on and most fleed the nation,same case here with the UN.You do know that there have been a total number of 450,000 just within the last 5 years?Not to mention all the people dying from starvation and aids.

I am doing a project on it for school. :happy0144:

The exact same thing goes on in Congo, and way more people have died there. Sudan is no better either.

In Social Studies for our final, we have to do an independent study with a partner on a conflict for like 4 weeks and we decided to do Darfur.
