=__What is happening in Darfur?__= Since an attack by a Darfur rebel group in 2003 (The Sudan Liberation Army) the government of Sudan has done horrible thing to civilians of Darfur. The Sudanese government has supplied the Janjaweed to go from village to village with the same orders:
 * Carpet bomb the village in the morning
 * Kill the men and children
 * Rape the women
 * Burn the village down

What damage has been done?
So far in Darfur over 400,000 people have died. It is estimated that over 100 people die each day and about 5,000 die each month. Thousand of lives remain in the front lines of the senseless fighting and inhumane genocide. The Janjaweed and Sudanese government have attacked over 400 villages in Darfur. Over 2.7 million people have been forced to leave their homes and 4.7 million depend on humanitarian aid. Many villages have been burnt down and many millions do not have homes. The Sudanese government has been in a Civil war for years and they use this as an excuse to attack Darfur. They have claimed to the rest of the world that Darfur rebels have been seen in battle fighting for South Sudan. Darfur rebels have only atttacked two government bases in response to the genocide and supposedly help South Sudan attack an oil field.

What has been done to help the people of Darfur?
So far not much has been done to help the people of Darfur. The UN has done peace talks but nothing major has happened to help. The president of Sudan (President Bashir) has been convicted of mass murder, rape and pillage to society but the International Criminal Court. They has a warrent for his arrest but the Government of Sudan has refused to hand him over. The UN has also cut back on the amount of international police they have placed in Darfur which helps even less.
