<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
Since the early 2000s, violence against the Sudanese government has been prevalent in the Darfur region. Although, it was not defined as genocide by the UN.
Genocide
First, we need to understand what genocide is.
- Genocide is defined as the deliberate killing of a specific ethnicity, nationality, or religious group.
For the UN to declare something a genocide, a specific group, usually a minority, must be targeted for their unique traits, like ethnicity.
There are 5 forms of genocide:
- Killing members of a group
- Causing grave mental or physical harm
- Forcing purposely terrible living conditions
- Preventing new births
- Forcing children out of the group
One of these must occur to a specific group of people for the UN to declare genocide.
Atrocities in Darfur
While the Sudanese government did deliberately kill people within Darfur, the government attempted to attack rebels. So, the government did not specifically target the ethnicity. However, the majority of the rebels were from Darfur, so some people saw it as a genocide.
