Current+Genocides

As of 2010, there are //two// Genocides going on.

=__Sudan__= The Genocide in Sudan is taking place in Darfur. It started in February 2003 when the Sudan Liberation Movement/Army and Justice and Equality Movement accused the Sudanese government of oppressing black Africans in favor of Arabians. The Janjaweed, a government-supported army consisting of various Arab tribes, are systematically displacing various black persons, then killing them. Both the Janjaweed and the Sudanese government in Khartoum have used rape, organized starvations, and mass murder to try and get rid of the blacks in Sudan. So far, this civil war has caused over //__5.6 million displacements__// and more than __//300,000 casualties//.__ Over 100 people die every day; 5000 every month in Sudan.

=**__Burma__**=

This Genocide, though a small one, has been going on for 47 years. Burmese government has been counter-insurgent against ethnic minority rebels. In order to do this, the government uses a "four-cuts strategy," which cuts off food, recruits, intelligence, and funds for the rebels. Another strategy the government uses is forced labor to build bases, which they then use to burn surrounding villages. Any area outside of government control is known as "black zones" where soldiers can kill anyone on sight. There are at least __//530,000 displaced persons//, //thousands of casualties, and tens-of-thousands of innocent arrests.//__
