Genocide causes sorrow, anger and a loss of hope. Friends and family are often killed in front of their loved ones in a split second, and when are gone, nothing can be done. One of the most famous genocides is the Holocaust, yet many people do not realize that genocides are happening even today.

One side of the contention was made predominantly out of Sudanese military and police and the Janjaweed, a Sudanese state army gathering selected for the most part among Arabized indigenous Africans and a little number of Bedouin of the northern Rizeigat; the dominant part of other Arab bunches in…
