Present:
After so many years of war crimes and killings George W. Bush declared for the number of American troops in Darfur to be doubled in 2006. Then in 2007, the United Nations [UN] sent in over 26,000 peacekeepers to try and subside the violence and war crimes occurring in Darfur. However, China has continuously attempted to discard of all peace between the Government of Sudan and the Sudanese Liberation Movement [SLM] and the Justice Equality Movement [JEM] because China invests a lot of money into Sudanese oil and Sudan is one of the largest oil providers. Also China makes helicopters, tanks, fighter planes, bombs, rocket launchers, machine guns and much more for Sudan.
Today in Darfur, it has been 10 years since the beginning of the misery, violence and war crimes and over 3 million people relying on food aid. And in a terrible repetition of history, the Sudanese government has spent the past 18 months deploying the same cruel strategies used in Darfur to crush an armed rebellion in another part of Sudan. Southern Kordofan and Blue Nile states also known as "Two Areas", are two unpopular states of Sudan and numerous amount of people are being killed and displaced. Many are suffering from hunger and the Sudanese government is not allowing any assistance to be given to the "Two Areas" unlike in Darfur where assistance was not blocked. The violence and war crimes in Darfur are still on going to this day but at lower intensities than before.
