They are “burning villages, looting economic resources, polluting water sources, murdering, raping, and torturing civilians” (Darfur Genocide).

    The Janjaweed militia raid their villages, and burn people’s homes. Many victims suffer from malnutrition everyday because of food and water shortages. It is especially difficult to find water, since there is little rainfall, and the Janjaweed are always hunting down those who attempt to find water, as well as polluting the water sources of villages. Even young children between the ages of ten to fourteen are sent into deserted places to find water, but are (most of the time) eventually killed by the militias. In the case in Darfur, the Arab Africans (Janjaweed and Sudanese Government) believe that they are superior over the black Africans (Civilians and Rebels).

    Genocide is the mass killing of people, usually for religious reasons, but now genocides happen mostly because no one can agree. An infamous example of one of the worst genocides was the killing of Bosnian-Muslims in Yugoslavia. After provinces like Slovenia and Croatia decided to secede from Serbia because of religious reasons, Serbia decided it was time to take action. After examining the political power, death rates, and the sole reason for the Yugoslavia murders, it is clear that the Serbian genocide is one of the worst in history. By looking at how the country was ran, the sheer panic seen in all of the government officials, and the amount of war and lives ruined, it is clear that the Bosnian-muslim genocide in Yugoslavia will always be

    Once General Omar Bashir took over Sudan in 1989, many resistances began to rise up against the government military. This drove, “The National Islamic Front government to inflame regional tensions… conflicts increased between African farmers and many nomadic Arab tribes” (Doc G). This shows the ethnic tensions involved because the government and the resistance were two different groups of people with a different ideals.

This source raises the argument that globalization is a disease that harms people in more ways then it helps and needs to be stopped before it wipes out the human race. This raises a good point is some ways because globalization does harm humans in many way such as losing jobs due to outsourcing and the people who get the outsourced jobs are put into horrible working conditions and underpaid without benefits.
