ABOUT DARFUR
  • Darfur is in Western Sudan
  • There is a genocide there
  • A genocide is the deliberate and systematic
    destruction, in whole or in part, of an ethnic,
    racial, religious, or national group.

3
Whats Happening?
  • 400,000 people have been killed
  • Over two million have been displaced from their
    homes
  • Raping of women occurs often from the Janjaweed

4
Who is Fighting?
  • The dispute is between two groups
  • One Side is Ethnic African Tribes
  • The Other is the Islamic Government and the
    Janjaweed

5
Janjaweeds and Sudan Govt
  • Janjaweeds means "armed man on horse" in arabic
  • The Sudan government is known for sponsoring and
    supporting the Janjaweeds, but denies it to the
    United Nations.
  • The GOS denies that it funds or is in any way
    connected with the Janjaweed. The GOS maintains
    that the Janjaweedcoincidentally show up right
    after Sudanese airplanes fly over the villages
    and bombthem.

6
When and Why
  • It began February 26, 2003
  • The conflict is caused by the Arab farmers who
    needed to find water for their camels.
  • Arab tribes take over the land occupied by the
    Black farming communities.
  • Droughts, desertification, and overpopulation
    have made the
  • problem worse

7
What Theyre Dealing With
  • A large amount of the people in Darfur have
    started heading for camps near Darfur s main
    towns. 
  • There is not nearly enough water, medicine or
    food. 
  • The Janjaweed patrol outside the
  • camps where the Darfurians say
  • men are killed and the women
  • abused if they venture too
  • far in search of water or firewood

8
YOU Can Help
  • Six millions dollars were donated to help the
    cause by the end of 2008
  • All money you donate helps support people in
    Darfur
