In what country is Darfur Province, the scene of a massive conflict in which hundreds of thousands have died?
1 Answer
Sudan ( Northern Sudan)
Explanation:
Sudan is a Muslim nation that has been ruled by an Arab minority for centuries. The early Christian Africa nations that had existed in the area of Sudan were destroyed by the Muslim Arab invaders between 600 -700 AD. The Black people of these nations were forced to convert to Islam, die, be enslaved or flee.
Darfur was a province of Northern Darfur populated mainly by Black Muslims. When large oil deposits were discovered in this region the conflict erupted. The dominate Arab minority decided that the wealth in the region should belong to them. A massive program of genocide and ethnic cleansing resulted.
The local population tried to resist which resulted in the massive loss of life and international outcry. The Government of North Sudan used its army, planes and superior firepower to subdue the Black population and take control of the oil field.
The Muslim Arabs have always regraded the black muslim converts to Islam as second class Muslims. The word for slave in Arabic is the same word as the word for a black person. Speaking Arabic is essential for the proper understanding of the Koran. Reading the Koran in Arabic is the only way to properly understand the message of the scared book.
History, racial prejudice, religious bigotry, and greed combined to create the massive loss of life in Darfur.
