Genocide in the Congo

Civilians in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo remain victims of mass killings, severe torture and widespread rape at the hands of numerous armed groups operating in the provinces of North Kivu, South Kivu and Orientale.  Conflict in the DR Congo has resulted in an estimated 5.4 million civilian deaths since 1996.
In the eastern provinces of North and South Kivu, civilians are targeted by the rebel Forces Democratique de Liberation du Rwanda (FDLR). During its attacks, the FDLR burns villages and killed innocent residents. Human Rights Watch estimates that these attacks have killed more than 1,000 civilians since January 2009 .

A reporter from the Associated press Michelle Faul reported a story of mass graves in Congo. They are hidden all over in the banana plantations high up a mountain above the cloud line, at the end of a treacherous dirt track slippery with mud and animal dung. A native told Faul a story of how the Rwandan soldiers call meeting and put these people in a hut adn then line them up two by two then force then out to be attacked by the soldiers using hoes, picks and axesmore than 300 villagers died that morning of Oct. 20, 1996. These people killed are most likely in these one of the hundreds of the mass graves throught the mountain side.

Genocide in Darfur

In the ongoing genocide, African farmers and others in Darfur are being displaced and murdered at the hands of the Janjaweed, a government-supported militia recruited from local Arab tribes. The genocide in Darfur has claimed 400,000 lives and displaced over 2,500,000 people. More than one hundred people continue to die each day; five thousand die every month.Government neglect has left people throughout Sudan poor and voiceless and has caused conflict throughout the country. In February 2003, frustrated by poverty and neglect, two Darfurian rebel groups launched an uprising against the Khartoum government.
The government responded with a scorched-earth campaign, enlisting the help of a militia of Arab nomadic tribes in the region against the innocent civilians of Darfur. Since February 2003, the Sudanese government in Khartoum and the government-sponsored Janjaweed militia have used rape, displacement, organized starvation, threats against aid workers and mass murder. Violence, disease, and displacement continue to kill thousands of innocent Darfurians every month.

Genocide: Background

If you didnt know genocide is a mass killing of a very large group of people becasue of there race,ethnicity, religion and so on. Genocide is a very brutal and disturbing occurence. The biggest genocides the world has seen is during World War II. The Nazi's in germany persecuted mostly the jewish religion they put them in concentration camps making them work with out food, water amd proper clothing. When the camp got over crowded, and inmate acted up or was to weak and could no longer work they would simply kil them. They would kill them in various ways such as firing line, gas chamber and vaious other ways. By the end of the War the Nazi Regime had killed an estimated six million jewish and another five million disabled, homosexual Communists, Socialists, trade unionists and  Jehovah's Witnesses. With the information above you can just imagin all of the injustices that occur during a genocide such as this. Genocide is still a really bad problem in many parts of the world.
