- In order for a woman to prove that she was raped, she needs four male witnesses. This would be extremely difficult because women who are single are not allowed to have sex, and married women can be killed if they have sex with someone who is not their husband. =====

- The Khartoum govt. warned the Darfurians that the janjaweed militia were heavily armed and well supplied with air and land forces. - The Janjaweed attacked by killing men and boys and raping or abducting girls and women. They would also destroy agriculutral areas that were the people's food supply.

- The Darfur govt. and the Janjaweed created a counterinsurgency aimed at annihilating Darfur's African tribes. - The drought in Darfur resulted in an unavailability of water, which was needed for livestock and people of the tribes. Therefore, the Darfurians moved south but found themselves in the farmlands of the Black AFricans. This created high tensions between the two groups. - In order to bring a close to the devastation from over the years in Darfur, there will need to be drought relief and food relief. - One of the main reasons for the genocide is that there are religious extremeists living there.

- In order for the genocide to end, there needs to be a long-term peace treaty between the Sudan govt., the Janjaweed militia, and the rebel groups of Darfur to find a way to resolve the political and economic disputes. =====

- Due to starvation, murder and disease, thousands of civilians in Darfur die every month. As violence continues throughout the region, millions of displaced civilians are living in refugee camps and need international help. =====

- Human security is the most important thing for the people in Darfur, but the world has left that responsibility solely to the African Union Peacekeeping Mission in Darfur. They may have this responsibility, but they do not have the power. ===== C: The reason for the genocide is because the Darfurian people were frustrated the Khartoum govt. was not providing for them while they are in poverty. C: In India, single females running the family are so poor that they have to sell themselves in order to get food on the table. Q: Did the government just not have the money to provide for the people? Or were they not supporting the Muslim Darfurians?

[] - JUly, 2008 - International Criminal Court's prosecutors filed ten charges of war crimes against President Omar al-Bashir. 5 were crimes of humanity, 3 were of genocide, and 2 were of murder. - He was said to be the mastermind behind the attempt to destroy the 3 Darfurian tribes just because of their ethnicity. - A main reason for the genocide was becasue of ovverpopulation. Not only this, but htey relied on natural resources for agriculture and raising camels. It is also a diverse country with many different tribes living together, which adds a lot of tension. - Another reason for the genocide was because of desertification in Darfur. There is a scarce ammount of food and water found there, and it is found in between different nomadic groups, which causes conflict.
