Many of you may not know this and I didn't know this until little over a year ago, but there is a major civil war happening in Darfur. The Dardurians were tired of poverty and not having their voice being heard, so a rebel groups rose up against the government in 2003. The government retaliated with the scorched earth campaign by using a group of militia known as the Janjaweed to displace and kill the innocent civilians of Darfur.
The killing of the Darfurians is refereed to as genocide. Each day, over 100 people die and every month, 5,000 people die. Since the beginning of the war 400,000 people have lost their live and 2,500,000 were displaced.
The genocide in Darfur needs to stop. Even today it is still going on and the only way that this war is going to stop is if someone intervenes. What I personally believe is that the United Nations should step in and say something to the government and if need be use armed forces to help save the lives and help rebuild the country of Darfur.
