What is it anyway?The genocide started in the early 2003. The two rebel groups by the name of SLA and JEM started a riot. The government started to respond by recruiting local tribes and setting an attack against the 2 rebel groups. The assaulting group is called the Janjaweed. Above, A picture drawn by a child

What are they doing in order to stop this?

Only, 7,000 African Union supported by the UN (United Nations) have been deployed to help the civilians who have been in the attacks. There were 6 peace talks to stop the treat but the plan failed miserably.
