HAEJEE ROUGH DRAFT FOR MY PART!



SASHA- that was just sample.. i have the final right here. ** RWANDAN GENOCIDE ** **Essential Question:** What are the differences and similarities between the Rwandan Genocide and the Darfur Genocide on the basis of: motive, political control before and in the situation, and speed of reaction from the United States of America?

As a group we came up with a question that did more than rehash what our classmates already know. We took advantage of what was presented to us and added some analytical and ethical thought, and came up with a question about the genocides in Africa. **What are the differences and similarities between the Rwandan Genocide and the Darfur Genocide on the basis of: motive, political control before and in the situation, and speed of reaction from the United States of America? ** The Genocides in Africa called to us and this is our answer. By tracking the motive, political control, religion, and reaction we can see the pattern in the Genocide. By recognizing the pattern and answering the question “Why?” we could possibly prevent a future of more genocides. Women’s rights weren’t as appealing because we feared that our paper would be too feminist for any readers taste. However, we do acknowledge that women’s rights are an issue. We will compare the two genocides on several levels to see the slight differences and the many similarities. Due to the impact of the genocides in Africa, humanitarian groups blossomed across the nation, especially in Hawaii. The internet scene has current information in the African countries that we can employ into our ethics project. Sasha has local connections to Save Darfur and Invisible Children that we can utilize and take advantage of. Save Darfur and Invisible Children are humanitarian groups that promote peace, respect, and love in those countries affected by the genocides. We believe that we will make most of the basic sources as the Internet, library, YouTube, and encyclopedias. We have enough to fall back on to produce our project.

So we know how to read, watch, and say “Oh my gosh, that’s horrible” and, as the camera man in //<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">Hotel Rwanda //<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> said, “then go one eating [our] dinner”, but we don’t have what this project will teach us. We will strengthen our researching, essay writing, and group working skills. Both genocides were not the first bit of news to be splashed on the front page. I’m sure word did get out about these horrible incidents but there isn’t much information beyond the “there was a Genocide in Rwanda and Darfur”. Finding real information to our question would take a good amount of researching and quality writing to convey our knowledge. Along with our researching and writing we will learn and grow together. But we will also learn to be proactive and analytical while looking beyond the face value. As Saint Francis graduates, we believe this project will show our true colors. We will leave this school knowing we are open to diversity, religions, cultures, and beliefs. We will value the differences of the world and have the courage to react to those in need. “Be the change you wish to see in the world,” as said by Gandhi, us too, wish to be the change in the world as we depart our ways

-time line for us!

Haejee :)

__Paraphrasing/summary-__** Since 1916, Belgium started to rule Rwanda dividing into two groups, minority rulers Tutsi and majority non-rulers Hutu maintaining Rwandan monarchy. Belgium reinforced racial discrimination by making Tutsi to monopolize chances and power and issuing group identification card. After Hutu started riot, Belgium government ended colonial rule. In 1993, with the arbitration of UN, the Belgium government and rebels made Peace Agreement but it was not that enforced. Because of the assassination of president in 1994, the Genocide occur Hutu taking the lead.
 * WP#1

__Paraphrasing/summary-__** Omer al- Bashir and the National Islamist Front (NIF) had the political power over the situation. Sudanese government used violence including killing, torturing, raping and displacing the civilians in both South and West. Also, making the civilians to be starved was one of the ways the Sudanese government used. Because of this, lots of the civilians were threatened to be dead. In the three years between 2003 and 2005, more than 200,000 people lost their lives since the Sudanese government destructed and obstructed the aids. “In both the south and west, the Sudanese government established a pattern of assaults against civilians, killing, torturing, raping and displacing millions.” “The Sudanese government used starvation as a weapon. It attacked civilian food production and supplies, then obstructed international relief.” “The government has also obstructed aid to vulnerable populations in response to international pressures.”
