Article This is the website I used for my research paper.

I found a very informational website about the genocide in Darfur. This website also shows you how you can help and prevent the genocide in Darfur. The article had many facts about the genocide and how to prevent it. Here are some of the facts.
  • 400,000 civilians have died in the past five years.
  • 90% of targeted villages have been destroyed in Darfur.
  • 250,000 people have Left Darfur to go to Chad, but they are also facing violence there.
  • 80% of people displaced are women, these women and young girls are constant victims of sexual violence and are abducted into sexual slavery.

People in Darfur have no where to go. We need to help them because they try to escape but yet where they escape to are also victims of violence. Those are just a couple of facts that I have put in my own words. I think these facts will be very helpful and useful in the research paper because they show the reality of Darfur.

There are also somethings that we can do to help stop this violence. Even our school here at EHS is helping to stop the genocide. We need to help Darfur because the people there have no other place to turn to. How would you feel if you were left in a situation that horrible that you can't get out of it? The biggest thing we can do is join and advocacy group. And in that group we need to contact the president so we knows, and can do something. The more people to contact the president the better, because then he'll know more people car and are thinking about it. Therefor he will most likely do something about it.
