In Western Sudan, there is a mass slaughter and rape of Darfuri men,
women, and children. The group that is carrying out the genocide is,
"government-armed and funded Arab militias known as the Janjaweed." Not
only are people getting murdered, they are getting misplaced and being
separated from their families. They also burn villages, loot economic
resources and torturing civilian. From the whole time of the genocide,
"over 480,000 people have been killed and over 2.8 million people are
displaced." The multitude of people who were killed and displaced shows
the level of inhumane actions that people are willing to take. The
current genocide in Darfur is a serious problem that we take notice of
and take actions to stop and prevent further genocides.
The recent order from President Trump to form a ban on immigrants from seven countries majorly populated with Muslims causes ruckus and outrage as people spit on the executive actions as cruel and inhumane. A person who protests the ban says that "'The United States has a rich history of helping refugees rebuild their lives safely and with dignity.'" The United States is known for helping out those in trouble, despite differences and reputations built from actions in the past. They serve those in need as much as they can, given the circumstances of the situation, whether it be sickness or trapped in a dangerous place. Noted by a helper of the refugees, "'The vast majority of Americans reject this malicious and divisive agenda, which violates human rights and goes against this country's shared values of equality, dignity, and opportunity for all.'" Despite the reputation America is known to have for helping other countries, some don't view it the same way volunteers of the refugees' aid do. Americans rejecting the inhumane act don't take kindly to the refugees, especially with the past history. The ban caused trouble and raised different views on the situation and how to respond to it, possibly creating a bigger conflict to brew that won't concern just immigrants, but civilian's thoughts as well.
