 The usual scene in
Darfur is people running and hiding where they could hoping it would be burned down. Children are frightened trying to find their family in all this chaos. Women of any age being raped and left to die. All you can see is red. Red from the blood of the innocent shed. Red from the fires that are burning the homes and possessions the people of
Darfur once known. When the janjaweed have done their tasks the government bombers and Sudanese government comes to make sure nobody is a survivor by bombing and shooting. The few that survived that horrid destruction are left with no food or shelter or family. They are basically left to die of a painfully emotional death.

            In the western region of Sudan is a stretch of land called
Darfur. The people in
Darfur are usually farmers trying to make living from planting crops. Darfur used to have rebels that were rebelling against the Sudanese Government claming that the government was corrupt and that it was abandoning the people of
Darfur. The Sudanese Government in response to this was to send the Janjaweed. Janjaweed in Arabic means man or devil on horseback. Janjaweed did their tasks and the rebels were no more, but they decided they could do much more and they decided to burn down the villages and terrorize the innocent unarmed people of
Darfur. You would think that the Sudanese Government would be there to aid the Darfurians, but they didn’t. They made it worst. They sent their army to
Darfur and government bombers to bomb the villages that were fully occupied with people. The force they brought into Darfur was no t to eliminate the Janjaweed but to eliminate the people in
Darfur. This is when we say that this is genocide. When genocide happens it is our global responsibility to prevent and stop it. Then why is 5 years later the
Darfur crisis is still going on?

             Global Responsibility is basically the responsibility the people of the world have. Our responsibility to try to do all we can to stop genocides from happening, like
Darfur. Everyday, ordinary people can make a big difference. So use any chances you get contribute to a program that help the people in
Darfur. Remember it is our responsibility to stop this tragedy.
