Why is there so little information an the Darfur Genocide?

Question

I need to give a presentation to my class, and any information would be helpful!
What I know so far:
400,000 dead so far
2.5 million displaced and dying
Gangawed (spelling?) are the killers, and are sponcered indirectly by the Sudanese government.

Thanks!!!

Answer 1

There is actually a lot of information available. The UN has written over a dozen reports, as has the African Union and a range of human rights and humanitarian organisations like Oxfam and Human Rights Watch.

The correct spelling of the militia is 'Janjaweed'.

Answer 2

You can bet if there was plenty of cheap, easily-accessible OIL in Darfur, Bush and Cheney would be there in a heartbeat, committing troops and weaponry to "bring democracy" to the region and then let them govern themselves. -RKO- 05/16/07

Answer 3

one thing you never hear mentioned, is the killers, like most terrorsits, are arab muslims. The only difference in this case is the victims are muslims too

funny how when yhe US does go in, they're wrong, and when they don't go in, they're wrong

Answer 4

why well (i can only speak for US media)
no Oil in Darfur, and unlike in Serbia the people dying aren't white

Answer 5

Like I've told many before, if you look in the right spots you can find it.
