5. Pan-Afrikanism is the unity of different Afrikan people and different Afrikan nations. How would this type of unity benefit Sudan?

I believe that this can benefit the sudan genocide, because in sudan there a a lot of different religion and cutlers but they fight over there differences. If they unit, and they would get along this genocide would end but John Garang of Sudan had every reason to did what he did. But if they could get along this would be the perfect example of Pan-Afrikanism

The Congo Homework



1. What events led to the outbreak of war in the DR Congo?

The events that led to this was the genocide was so big that it moved over to the Congo from Rwanda. Because Rwanda is the next country to the Congo it was very easy that the war that was in Rwanda could find its way to Congo, which it did. That is how the genocide found its way over to the Congo.

2. How many have died in this war? Over what time frame has the deaths taken place? What countries and ethnic groups are involved?

In the last 10 years of fighting, more than 5 million people have died in the Congolese conflict—mostly civilians who haven't had access to enough food or health care because of the fighting. Because there was not enough food or health care that is another reason why people are dead. The time frame of this genocide was around 1994 the same time of the Rwanda genocide, the death takes place in the Congo.The ethnic group were the Congo Hutu and Kivutians and Rwanda Tutsi.

3. What do you think can happen to stop the war/genocide in Congo?

I believe that there was no way to find out how to come up with a solution for this because if they would have stopped when they found out that the Rwanda genocide moved over to the Congo and that in Congo there over 5 million people dead and counting.There are hundreds of thousands of people in North Congo right now who are starving, hiding in the forest, and living in ditches in unimaginable terror that they might be killed. If they wanted to stop they would have already stopped.

Reflection

The thing I would like to reflect on today is that I was chosen to be a leader when we were in the computer lab. I was picked out of ten people when Mothuri Mukusa checked on the class they were being disruptive and he could here them and went to see why they were so loud. I felt good about my self because it was over ten people in the class and he pick me. T would like to think him for choosing me. That made me feel responsible and boosted my confidence. That was the highlight of my day.

Rwanda Assignment

<>


1. There are many reason why the genocide has stared like In August 1993, after several attacks and months of negotiation, a peace accord was signed between Habyarimana and the RPF, but it did little to stop the continued unrest. Then When Habyarimana's plane was shot down at the beginning of April 1994, it was the final nail in the coffin. After that that when the whole genocide started.

2. Thing that what was major in the genocide is who many people were killed.Between April and June 1994, an estimated 800,000 Rwandans were killed in the space of 100 days. Most of the dead were Tutsis and most of those who perpetrated the violence were Hutus.During the genocide, the bodies of Tutsis were thrown into rivers, with their killers saying they were being sent back to Ethiopia that one of harsh and brutal ways to kill the Tutsis.

3. On July of 1994 the war was over there were many reason for the war and started and finish but at the end of the war over five million Tutsis and Hutus did in the genocide this didn't only effect Africa but the whole world and well always should be remember
