Well we did more presentations after we did a write to learn on stuff they did yesterday. The Aparthi government made South Africa like extremely racists and stuff and they stripped the black africans of their resources and they left the country in disarray. They had thrown Nelson Mandela in prison for like twenty years and when the aparthi government ended Mandela became president. In Rwanda when the ducht were in powere they favored the Tutsi and discriminated the Hutu and when the Dutch left the Hutu came into power they started the Rwandan Genocide and they killed 800,000 people in 100 days. The Tutsi won and they drove the Hutu to the Congo. The origins of the Darfur conflict is that Sudan is becoming extremely desertous and the Arab parts are trying to force the black africans out of Darfur and the black africans formed two groups the Sudan Liberation Movement and the Jestice and Equality Movement. The Janjaweed were the arabs that were trying to do this and Janjaweed literally means devils on Horseback and the crime they are commiting are awful. They burn villages, rape the women, and execute innocent men by firing squad. The sudanese dictater is Omar Hasan al-Bashar. The total amount of people is over 400,000 and more than 100 people die every day and most of them are dying from starvation. The united Nations pledged 22million for missionary workers supplies and military vehicles. There are troops in there from the African union but the "President" wont let the soldiers in the country. The conflict in Somalia ( a failed state, anarchy) Piracy terrorism and lack of leadership adn a bunch of warlords that are vying for resources and power. The piracy that goes on is a threat to international trade and shipping and they have recieved 150 milion dollares in ransoms. They have three main terrorist groups: a group of Al-quada, Jihadis who are responsible form multiple massacres, and Al-Shabaab and they have the most control and describe themselves as enemies of Islam. They elected a president and set up a parliment in 2004.
