4DarfurWhy

NT  = Why did the genocide in Darfur happen? =    The fighting of Darfur all started by a drought. The people of Darfur split themselves into two basic groups in which identify themselves in different beliefs.The titles of the groups were, "Arabs" and "Africans." The Arab groups had no permanent houses, while the Africans were most likely farmers. Arabs and Africans constantly have battles over food and water. Tribal councils attempted to use their traditional actions to stop the confrontation between the two groups. The fought over food and water changed in the 1980s when the government took away tribal councils and instead established government programs. Arabs were very high in government, which made it obvious who will be decided when there was any type of controversy between Arabs and Africans. While this was happening, a major drought took place. Quarrel over resources then became more frequent. No one conducted a way to resolve these issues. Violence was a huge factor during this drought of horrid.  The time that turned everything around was when a group of African farmers resisted authority. They called themselves the Sudan Liberation Army. This group was tired of the government always siding with the Arabs, so they attacked the airport which demolished fighter planes and killed about 100 soldiers. President Omar al-Bashir attempted to stop the SLA. Instead of using the army to end the SLA's crucial actions, al-Bashir sent in the Janjaweed. The was a type of militia which contains Arabs. They didn't decide to control the fighting, instead they only made it more difficult to maintain. The government depends on militias to add as an addition to Sudan's army. Because of the ethnic tensions in Darfur, this group is already bias against the farmers. President al-Bashir captured the Janjaweed, and the moment that happened, conflict erupted immensely. **Bibliography** __Image of Arabs__ http://192.168.30.30:81/cgi/block.cgi?URL=http://images.google.com/imgres%3Fimgurl%3Dhttp%3A//phillips.blogs.com/photos/uncategorized/2007/08/30/94arabs.jpg%26imgrefurl%3Dhttp%3A//phillips.blogs.com/goc/2007/09/arab-revanchism.html%26usg%3D__mP2NdJ5Ub_Ut5QOn0PFW8oCdi2A%3D%26h%3D442%26w%3D640%26sz%3D57%26hl%3Den%26start%3D6%26um%3D1%26tbnid%3DGyNAMxuSWwkaiM%3A%26tbnh%3D95%26tbnw%3D137%26prev%3D/images%3Fq%3Darabs%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Dactive%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial%26sa%3DG%26um%3D1&IP=192.168.5.155&CAT=WEBLOG&USER=IPGROUP__
