As a result to all the attacks, there were thousands of dead bodies scattered across the land and tossed into wells. The bodies tossed into the wells led to the contamination of a majority of Darfur’s water supple and desertification of the area. Access to water is highly needed in Sudan currently, but the country has already became neglected. Due to the ongoing violence, rape has also been seen as a weapon to attack the women and children. There has also been numerous reports of girls under the age of ten to women over seventy being raped by attackers.
Hence, other countries should step in to help and solve this problem of the black africans being attacked, because they also have rights to live and believe what they want. Finally, Mrs. Polgreen says, “Bashir has scoffed at arrest warrants the court has already issued for two other Sudanese officials, and thousands of Sudanese have staged massive demonstrations in Khartoum on Bashir's behalf.” This highlights, how president of Sudan thinks its okay for the arb africans to attack black africans.

Genocide: The deliberate and systematic extermination of a large group of people, especially those of a particular ethnic group or nation (Dictionary.com). When you look at the rawness of the definition of genocide, it seems crazy. The harsh reality, however, is that genocides happen more often than people would like to admit, the 75,000 Herero people can definitely attest to this (Zimmerer and Neuberger). The most well-known genocide is the Holocaust, however there are many more genocides, both before and after, as well as more brutal, than the Holocaust. The first known genocide is called the Herero Genocide, or the Herero-Nama Genocide, and involved the Herero and the Germans (Laumann).
A horrific catastrophe that materialized into 100 days. Hutus took over Rwanda, Africa April 6, 1994 – July 1994.

Frustrated with the abuse they face everyday, people in the region have no choice but to protest. Multinational oil companies (MNCs) and the Nigerian government respond to these protests by public executions, restrictions placed on the rights of the people and various other abuses such as rape, and the killing of innocent civilians. These various forms of human rights violations are performed with the help of Nigerian security forces hired by multinational oil companies. Despite all the countless violations and abuses by the oil companies, the region 's inhabitants are still yet to receive a proper procedure for pressing charges and seeking justice. When the Nigerian government does come up with a plan to combat these issues, the plan usually lacks a proper procedure and cannot be maintained in the long run.
One of the many tragic cases of human history is the Rwandan Genocide. It truly presents the corruptness of human nature and how strong one could hate another being. Rwanda is currently still slowly healing from this massive wound that its own people did to it. This grief event impacted other places or organizations other than Rwanda, such as the United Nations. The Rwanda Genocide not only impacted the world externally in causing damage to the country Rwanda, it also impacted the world; the reputation of the United Nations, the relationship between the two major groups of people in Rwanda and the entire perspective of the world for what is possible for humans to do.
They highlighted that the Rwanda Patriotic front(RFP) had the support of international community and they threatened to overthrow the Hutu regime. This led to the genocide.

Genocide is the deliberate and systematic destruction of an ethnic, racial, religious or national group that has brought many losses for human population through the whole history of the world. First cases of genocide had such reasons as territorial, competing and religious arguments. For instance, one of the first genocides is thought to be the Roman destruction of Carthage in 146 BCE that occurred due to religious reason and the competitiveness of these two superpowers. The history has seen many cases of genocide, but this social problem especially spread worldwide during the twentieth century which was even claimed to be the “century of genocide”.
As the cold war nightmares began to fade away and the relatively stable power balance in the world began to crumble, the world set its sights on understanding and focusing in on the small wars that were waging within the borders of individual countries. Countries like Sierra Leone, Rwanda, Burundi, Liberia, and Afghanistan saw their countries completely ripped apart by civil war and some are even still waging today. Often, the causes of these wars have been discussed as arising from either greed or grievance. Scholars such as Collier and Hoeffler have positioned themselves deeply in the camp that postulates that it is greed more often than grievance that causes these civil wars. There are very few that exist on the other side of this argument,
The Rwandan genocide,also known as the genocide against the Tutsi, was a enormous slaughter of Tutsi in Rwanda by followers of the Hutu common government. An estimated more than 800,000 Rwandans were murdered during the 100-day from April 7 -July 1994.

Genocides, the deliberate killing of a large group of people, especially those of a particular group or nation, has affected various countries. Genocide not only brings a war but also problems like decreasing economic affairs and social problems.

The Bosnian Genocide also known as the Bosnian War or Crisis is a direct result from internal and external neglect. In order for an attack to be considered a genocide a systematic destruction of a group of people because of their ethnicity, nationality, religion, or race must occur.

An international communities miscalculation and oversight, led to disastrous aid that only hurt the country's situation.
Darfur was the first Genocide of to take place in the 21st century. Starting in 2003, it all started from Arab militias, who have named themselves as the Janjaweed, started carrying out ferocious attacks on innocent civilians; murdering, looting, and polluting crucial water supplies. Since their attack started, Arab militias have killed over 600,000 people; most of which have been women and children.
