Darfur

//**Assignment:**//

As stated on the website, Genocide Watch, genocide means “any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

\(a) Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.”

We have seen one example of genocide that has taken place in Africa in Rwanda. Now I’d like for us to compare that genocide to another currently happening in Darfur, Sudan. The international community has defined 8 stages that take place in the time leading up to genocide, as well as during the genocide itself and the time period afterwards. I’d like you to take your prior knowledge of Rwanda, and use the websites provided on the pathfinder, as well as the PowerPoint provided to you and fill out the following which explains each of these stages. In each box, show how you see these stages in each of the genocides in Africa.
