Sudan is made up of two ethnic groups, in the north Muslims of Arabic decent and in the south, African Christians,it's more a war of ethnic cleansing than anything else.

Iran, they can't be bothered with.\n\nBetter to get troops killed in Darfur. \n\nBetter for us to get blown to hell and beyond than to be called racist.

I definitely do know about the genocide in Darfur. In fact, yesterday I went to the Save Darfur Rally in Washington, D.C. to urge the President to take stronger measures in ending the violence and rapes in the Sudanese country. I also have donated money and will continue to donate, which is important since the U.N. is running out of money for the cause and supposedly is cutting half of it's food rations for the country because of lack of funding.\n\nDuring the rally, I also got a t-shirt. I plan to wear the T-shirt, which will hopefully strike up a conversation with someone who doesn't know about what's going on in Darfur because many people don't know about it.\n\nLastly, I pray for the people in Darfur. What better way to help than calling on a higher power.

Everyone please wake up! I am from SA and there are no wars\nor such stuff going on here! The only war that is going on here is the war against AIDS and poverty. So please get your facts correct before you try to answer something about another country.

Words of wisdom from an old college professor of mine ...\nwrite your paper as if the reader knows nothing about the subject.\n\nConflicts is plural.  It would be helpful if you identify several conflicts, then zero in on one conflict that seems to best summarize all conflicts in the region. \n\nMake sure to answer the following questions in your report:\n\nWho - who are the parties to the conflicts?\n\nWhat - is the nature of the conflict?  There should be at least two opposing perspectives.\n\nWhen - When did the conflict begin?\n\nWhere - Where did the conflict begin, and how expansive is the conflict now?  In other words, did it start in one village and now consumes the entire country, region or continent?\n\nHow - How did the conflict begin?  Did one warlard begin the oppression to fill a power vacuum?\n\nWhy - Why did the conflict begin?  What were the circumstances that were present that allowed the conflict to start and grow?  In other words, did a powerful leader or group of leaders cease to rule thereby allowing the warlords to initiate their own plan for rule?\n\nRemember, written history is always about perspective.  One journalist may have one perspective and write about a situation, while another journalist may have a completely different perspective.  For example, a Muslim journalist may see the warlord power grab in Sierra Leone in a very different light than a western journalist.  So, you will ultimately produce a better paper if you read different perspectives, then draw your own conclusions.  Your conclusions should not be based on your emotions, but rather cause and effect.  To be more specific, avoid emotive statements like:  What's happening in Darfur is wrong because it is unjust.  Rather, explain how it is unjust.  Search out any statistics on quality of life in Sierra Leone before the conflict, then compare to quality of life now.  In other words, be objective!\n\nThen, after you have your research and your perspective, create an outline.  Like this ...\n\n1. Who\n    A.  Party #1\n    B.  Party #2\n2. What is the nature of the conflict\n    A.  Explain the most obvious part of the conflict\n    B.  Explain a secondary part of the conflict\nEtc...\n\nWhen you're ready to begin writing the paper, create your openning paragraph in such a way as to introduce your reader to the subject matter in the most general way.  Then follow your outline to provide more specifics.\n\nDo make sure to bibliograph your paper.  Meaning, if you  learn that, for example that, 100,000 people have been displaced from their homes, insert a # behind your point in the body of your text.  Then at the very end of your paper tally the numbers and next to each cite the reference. This will be your "Bibliography Page". For example, the following sentence might be in the body of your report:  \n\n"100,00 people were displaced from their homes."1\n\nThen your bibliograpy page should correspond.\n\n#1 - Article from Newsweek, Vol. 1, page 42, written by John Doe.\n\nMake sure to be concise, no run-on sentences, use complete sentences, check your spelling, try to make it interesting by using adjectives, then write the paper like the person reading it has never heard of the subject matter before. \n\nIf this assignment is for grade or high school, I would attach a neatly typed copy of the outline to the back of your paper, behind the bibliography page.  By doing so, you'll show your teacher how you organized your content, and might get extra points for its inclusion.\n\nRemember, the point of the assignment is for you and your reader to learn about the subject.  Oh, and have fun doing it.  That grey matter between your ears is longing to be exercised!

The conflict comes from trying to control what we have no business controlling and cannot even though we try.\nfor we have no control and that is scaary, we cannot control population, religion or an out of control government and uncontrollable spending.

Likely, unfortunately. Unless there is outside intervention, Darfur will (it already has) spilled over into Chad.\n\nhttp://www.civilrights.org/issues/human/details.cfm?id=41413

It is kind of hard to help your kids in Darfur when there is a genocide going on. Men, women, and children are taking off the street and brutally beaten to death. Limbs are being chopped off. Children are kidnapped and are made to be soldiers.

Religious-The northern part of the country and the government are Muslim, and the government has been very radicalized, while the people in the southern part are mainly either Christians or indigenous religions.\n\nPolitical-The Sudan is so huge that it should probably be several countries, in part because of the above.\n\nEconomic-Large amounts of crude oil have been found in the Darfur region, which are being developed for China. By ethnically cleansing the area of the indigenous peoples, the radical government will have complete access to the hard currency this asset will bring in.\n\nTo be honest, since the conflict began several years ago the only media outlet that has been consistently covering this has been Pat Robertson's CBN.

most haven't done anything. however, america has its own problems. most people are protesting about darfur when they walk by homeless people out in the streets everyday that are cold and hungry too and people just walk by without a second thought. we have our own problems now that we need to fix. we dont need to police the world either. let the countries handle their own problems.

A war is a prolonged engagement between two military powers.  For example, I consider Vietnam a war because the US and the South Vietnamese militaries were fighting the Vietcong and the North Vietnamese militaries.  Same with the current Iraq War, two forces, prolonged engagement.  An example for a conflict is the Somalia incident back in 1991 (remember Blackhawk Down?)  Warlords over threw Somalia's government and the US and allies went in for humanitarian aid.  It was a reletively short engagement, making it a conflict.  Thats how I define wars from conflicts, but I suppose the official way is whether or not Congress declares war. (If they do, its a war.  if not, its a conflict)

Yes, example darfur. We can't peacefully walk in there and make everything okay.

That is an interesting question....\n\nThe obvious civil war between the communist North and the democratic South. The not so obvious civil war was probably between the Catholics and the Buddhist in South Vietnam. Howver, I think that can be described more as bloody protesting rather than a war.

The Troubles refers to the period of violent conflict in Northern Ireland beginning with the Civil Rights marches in the late 1960s to the political resolution enshrined in the 1998 Good Friday Agreement. During that time more than 3,000 people were killed, most of them civilians. Explore the history of the period through articles, video footage, audio clips and photographs.  \n\n \n An exploration of the Northern Ireland conflict \n \n \n \n  \n Origins and Civil Rights\nThis section provides an historical backdrop to the 1921 partition settlement that led to 50 years of Unionist rule in Northern Ireland. This came to an end in 1972 when the British government imposed direct rule from London. Partition, civil rights, internment and Bloody Sunday are some of the themes explored. \n \n \nPower-sharing\nFollowing the collapse of 50 years of Unionist rule in 1972 an agreement reached at Sunningdale in 1973 introduced power-sharing between unionists and nationalists. This section looks at how a loyalist strike in May 1974 brought this new model of governance to an end.  \n \n \n Hunger Strikes\nFrom the removal of Special Category Status in 1976 to the end of the hunger strikes in 1981, republican prisoners mounted one protest after another in support of their demand for political status. This section looks at the Blanket Protest the Dirty Protest and the seven-month hunger strike that led to the death of ten republicans. \n \n \nAgreement\nFrom the Anglo-Irish Agreement in 1985 to the Good Friday Agreement in 1998 politicians sought to find a resolution to the Troubles. This section looks at some of the political gains and violent setbacks on the path to peace. \n \n \nFor more follow the link.

they are fixing to have a civil war.\n\nThere will not be peace on earth until all humans are eliminated because good and evil are only concepts of humans.

Ask your average Merikun dough-brain "What do you think about what's happening in Darfur Province in Sudan?" and they will most likely get that befuddled look you sometimes see on a slow child's face when someone brings up the subject of algebra...and if it isn't blazing across the crawl on FOXNEWS the people in charge DON'T CARE! It took two years to drag Clinton into Kosovo and Bosnia, maybe it will only take three to drag Bush into Darfur... it's a touchy situation though, the region is heavily populated by Muslims.... Wouldn't it be seen as just more American arrogance butting it's way into an internal conflict where we have no business? Wouldn't it create even more hatred of America in the Arab world if we barged into Sudan with an armed force, whether or not we called them PeaceKeepers? I see no easy solution to what's currently happening in Sudan. It's very reminiscent of the Hutu Vs. Tutsi conflict in Rwanda a few years back. Hardly anybody in America gave a $hiT back then and we weren't at war with terrorists then. Our military strength is already being stretched thin in Iraq... why should we worry about some poor African people who we DON'T see on T.V. every night? Sometimes the right thing to do isn't necessarily the smart thing to do if you're name is America.
