Chapters 4-6

In chapters 4-6 of "Not On Our Watch" starts off with the history of this genocide. It gives you a more clearer understanding of why this is happening in Darfur, and that it is very complicated. I did not know many of the things which were said in the book, and now I understand what is happening over there and what is happening in Darfur better. At first, I was really confused. Why is the Janjaweed killing off innocent Darfurians? Why isn't anybody coming to help? Why is the government of Sudan letting this happen? The whole situation is very compicated and the country is suffering more than genocide. But of course genocide is the worst possible thing to happen, and that is what we should focus on. The country was split int regions, being mainly north and south darfur. When Sudan became an independant country in the 50s, the regions came together. Darfur was one. This caused killing, fighting, and the two did not go together for their great cultural difference. North Darfurians are mostly arabs and south Darfurians are traditional Africans. The two have been fighting each other for years. Now it has gotten to the point were a genocide is being comminted in the region against the traditional Africans, in South Darfur mostly. In the secons part of the chapters, Dan talks about more of his experiences in Darfur. So far, I think the book is very good and structured good as well. It switches off with information and history to each author's own stories and opinions.
