A Story of Genocide

Since early 2003, the government of Sudan has been waging a campaign of genocide against targeted African communities in Darfur, western Sudan.

 In September 2004, the Bush Administration rightfully recognized that genocide was taking place in Darfur. Hundreds of thousands of people have lost their lives in Darfur since the genocide began. More than 2.5 million people have been displaced, their livelihoods and villages destroyed by government forces and their proxy militias, and many thousands of women and girls have been raped by these forces.

 Recent reports confirm that the government-sponsored violence continues in Darfur. The security situation is deteriorating. The humanitarian crisis that forms part of the genocide is escalating, as the government of Sudan continues to obstruct humanitarian operations, creating famine conditions for millions of vulnerable people. 

This is Sudan, a country in crisis.
