The Darfur Genocide (4x2)

Exibido em:: Fev 23, 2024

From 2003 through 2005, the first legally defined genocide of the 21st-century took place in the Darfur region of Sudan. Compared in brutality and scale to the Rwandan Genocide a decade earlier, the genocide in Darfur was carried out under the regime of Omar al-Bashir in Sudan and perpetrated against Darfur's non-Arab, African communities. Hundreds of thousands of lives were lost as a consequence, and the echoes of the genocide in Darfur have reverberated through to the present day, and continue to influence events in the country and in Africa at large today.
