Sudan, more specifically the Darfur region, has been home to a genocide that has been eclipsed on news programs by such events as the Iraqi war, Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath, and the recent elections. Darfur, a small region on the edge of Sudan, is made up of settled peasants, who think of themselves as African, and wandering Nomads, who consider themselves Arab. Most of the people in both groups worship the Islamic faith. Government neglect has left people throughout Sudan poor and voiceless and has caused conflict throughout the country. In February 2003, frustrated by poverty and neglect, two Darfurian rebel groups launched an uprising against the Khartoum government.
The government responded with a scorched-earth campaign, enlisting the help of a militia of Arab nomadic tribes in the region against the innocent civilians of Darfur. Over 400,000 million people have been killed and 2.5 displaced while the United States does nothing. (genocideintervention.net)
