• Death toll is 50% of their population
• The government helped Janjaeed rape and kill people in Darfur
• Government purposely stooped supporting Darfur
• U.S pressed the president of the U.N peacekeeper step in because 7,000 African union troops are not able to provide adequate security.
• The government is trying to demolish Darfur’s entire population because they feel as though they are ethnically different

Discussions

• Watched a video on Darfur.
• Talked about how people ignore the past and how something needs to be done.
• Organization of programs.

Roaming Questions
• Why is the government trying to wipe these people out?

Bring in Something To Share.

The facts about Darfur were very useful. How we are going to help was very unsuccessful. It is kind of difficult to choose one area when the whole country needs help. For the up coming weeks we need to work on how we are going to help Darfur. In the group i am the minute taker.
