9/11- there was a terrorist attack, planes were hijacked and 2 of them crashed into the twin towers. Then another plane crashed into the Pentagon and then another plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. It affected everybody in the United States. People died and everyone was in fear and were having hatred. The airports definitely started increasing their security since the planes were hijacked. Things were hectic in the United States after the terrorist attack.
War in Iraq- we went to war in Iraq to stop Saddam Hussein because he was killing his own people, he was just a threat. It cost the US a lot of money and a lot of troops died. The war was only suppose to last a few months but it ended up lasting 8 years.
Problems in Africa:
Rwanda- it involved the Hutus and the tutsis. The tutsis were more dominate because they were more favored than the hutus. Thats how the genocide was started because the hutus were trying to kill all of the tutsis people, the Europeans just did a lot of things for the tutsis. They would even measure noses and the tutsis were skinnier and taller people.
Darfur- was a type of genocide, the African ethnic groups tried to over throw the Sudanese government so once that happened the Janjaweed stepped in and started torturing, raping, just doing cruel things to the African ethnic people. The government preferred the Arab people over the other groups. The UN stepped in but there is still a lot of violence going on.
Joseph Kony- He kidnapped kids and made them kill their parents and had the boys be in his army and the girls were used as sex slaves. He wanted people to think of him as god like. The Lord resistance army is a cult that did the stealing of children and told them they would be safe even though the kids ended up getting killed anyways. Joesph thought he was following what the bible said, thought he was doing good. He claimed he was christian. He would find horrible ways people died in the bible and he would think he could do that too. People are trying to find him so they can arrest him.
Syria- school kids were arrested and were reported to be tortured and so then it started a protest then at the funeral the soldiers started shooting the protesters because they wanted freedom. People wanted the country to get better and change for the better. So the leaders agreed to but they didnt believe him so a lot of people started to leave the country for freedom.
south Sudan vs Sudan- south Sudan broke away from Sudan because of the oil, it is 70% of sudan's earnings. then a Civil war broke out and they fought over land, oil, religion, and power. So now they split the oil region and split the jobs the 2 countries could keep going good.
