African Genocides: A Comprehensive Guide to the Genocides in Rwanda and Sudan

This book contains two genocide topics:

1 - If you think that most of the world consists of unicorns and rainbows, think again. Perhaps you think that living in the west is particularly harsh and that the problems we face in the United States or Europe are more brutal than in other parts of the world. Again, think again.

Welcome to a book about the ongoing genocide in Darfur, something not often discussed in the news but shocking enough to make you envision what hell on earth looks like. Chances are some of these rapes and murders are happening right now as you’re reading it. The conflict there isn’t over.

The International Bad Guy Court (ICC) has prosecuted many individuals for criminal offenses against mankind, rape, mass relocations and deportations, and abuse because of the genocide being committed against the Fur, Masalit, and Zaghawa tribe. More than one million children there have been "killed, raped, hurt, displaced, shocked, or endured the loss of parents or caregivers and loved ones.”

2 - I guess during the time I was struggling with middle school peers and worried about what other girls thought of my clothes, something nasty happened approximately 6,500 miles away, which is only an 8-hour flight from where I used to live. Who would have thought that even in the 90s, such atrocities would be committed? The movie Hotel Rwanda has depicted some sad displays of human cruelty, although the brutality of it has mostly been censored for the sake of wider audiences.

Throughout the Rwandan Civil War, between April seventh and July fifteenth, 1994, the Rwandan genocide happened. Equipped militias murdered members of the Tutsi minority ethnic group, and some moderate Hutu and Twa, throughout about 100 days. According to the most regularly accepted academic estimates, between 500,000 and 800,000 Tutsis passed away. The death toll (consisting of Hutu and Twa casualties) is approximated to be around 1,100,000.
