Moral questions aside, neigh-boring states such as Egypt, Chad,

and Kenya recognise that stabilising Darfur is in their interest. The


United States should encourage those states to clean up their own
backyard, which they can and should do.

1.Ethnicity
Sudan was divided into 3 different regions

North of Sudan -the ethnicity is Arabic, Religiously- muslim


Here lies the Port of Sudan

South of Sudan -the ethnicity is Black


The religion is christianity
Here lie the oil wells

West of Sudan- Darfur, Land of Fur.


Ethnicity is black and religiously Muslim
Arabs and affiliated nomadic tribes.

In the South of Sudan-The oil is being extracted


In the North of Sudan-They see the payments come in

70%of the oil goes to China from the North therefore all the money
stays in the Northern.

Therefore the southern part of Sudan raise the question that why
aren’t they getting any benefits from this?
Why aren’t they getting roads and schools and hospitals?
Thus they launched a rebellion
2nd Sudanese Civil War from 1983-2005
The South emerged victorious and with that got 49% of the oil
revenues.

Thus brings us to the west,


Darfur is completely left out of this
Thus the west launched there own rebellion

The Dafur rebellion 2003 to present

The sudanese Government felt rather pressed,


They were being used un the west by Darfur,
And were always unsure of the peace with the south,
Thus they came to China for help,
China said that they could help with the rebellions, to secure there
oil supplies they could support them with military weapons.

There method was simple they targeted villages of black agricultural


rural tribe people who said to be rebel sympathisers
And threw bombs at night and then at dawn are with helicopters
with high powered machine guns and after that the janjiwan
Devils on horseback from western sudan who were sponsored and
financed by the government came riding in and shot the rest of the
civilians. The women were raped and the houses were burned.

The genocide in Sudan has been described as Rwanda in slow


motion. The one positive feature of recent events was the
ceasefire in the long running civil war. This was for some the
prize that justified inaction against the government sponsored
genocide in the Darfur region. The ceasefire might now be
coming apart as the conflict intensifies on the border between
Sudan and Chad.

Violence, rape, arrests, and torture have devastated the


lives of the innocent civilians in Darfur. Countless men,
women, and children have lost their lives while the living
endure unimaginable suffering with nowhere to turn. Despite
the alarming rate at which the violence continues, world
leaders have faced the situation in Darfur with silence.
Those who have spoken out have not moved beyond words
of condemnation.
President al-Bashir, the mastermind behind the genocide in
Darfur and a man indicted and wanted by the International
Criminal Court (ICC), is still actively pursuing his genocidal
campaign in Darfur and other regions of Sudan.

With the all persisting challenges, the Darfur Women Action


Group and its supporters have remained vigilant and have
refused to stand idly by. We say NO to the silent conspiracy
in Darfur and have decided that we must speak up, continue
to empower the survivors, and continue to educate and
mobilize citizens like you.

The Darfur conflict is not only a problem for the Sudanese, but is
also a regional problem. The conflict is threatening the stability in
other regions of Sudan, and in neighboring countries like Chad, and
the Central African Republic. Looking at its nature, magnitude and
internal dynamics that fuel it, one can see that, unless it is
addressed soon, the conflict has the potential to plague the whole
region with a continuous cycle of violence and lawlessness.

The chaotic and atrocious nature of the Darfur conflict has attracted
much attention from the international community.

Darfur peace process has failed because of the following five


factors: 1) mutual mistrust between the government of Sudan and
the rebel movements; 2) weakness of the mediation process; 3)
inconsistent strategy of participation; 4) the fragmentation of the
rebel movements; and 5) the inability of the DPA to address power
and resource-sharing, and security issues. In order to prove this
argument, the paper makes a general assessment of the Darfur
peace process by examining the process of the negotiation itself,
the participation of actors, and the factors related to the dynamics of
the conflict during the peace process.

The Sudanese economy had already been struggling


with the loss of 75 percent of its oil revenues with the
secession of South Sudan. Most of Sudan’s national
budget goes to the military and security sector, as the
country is dealing with insurgencies in the South
Kordofan, Darfur, and Blue Nile regions. In 2018, only 3
percent of the national budget was allocated to education
and even less to health. The salaries and allowances of
national and state government officials put more burden
on the annual budget. The country is crippled by
corruption — Sudan ranks 175 out of 180 countries on
Transparency International’s Corruption Perception
Index.

As there is no indication the current wave of protests will


stop or that Mr. Bashir is stepping down anytime soon,
the world must extend its solidarity to the people of
Sudan. The least that the United States and other
governments should do is speak out firmly and clearly
against Mr. Bashir’s violent repression of the peaceful
protests.
