Darfur Conflict
I believe that the Genocide that is happening in Darfur (Sudan) is very unjust. So many people died and yet no one is really helping out or putting an end to this horrific event. So many people have been displaced from their homes and have nowhere to go. As well the government will not take responsibility of their own actions.

These people that are displaced are foreced to live in refugee camps or go wonder on there own and most likley starve to death. The people that choose to live in refugee camps live in hard conditions because they do not have enough...
