“Never again” was repeated throughout the world after the Holocaust and again after the atrocities in Cambodia, Bosnia, and Rwanda. Regardless of the terminology that the international community labeled these massacres, they were each a systematic persecution and murder of a group of people by another people. Since February, 2003 the Sudanese government and the Janjaweed, the Sudanese government sponsored Arab militia, have systematically murdered and raped the civilians of Darfur, while destroying their villages and homes. The atrocities have been deemed genocide by the United States (US) and the United Nations (UN) has declared that “no less serious and heinous crimes have been perpetrated;” yet the international community has been slow to respond to the bloodshed.
