Justice

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2005/jun/07/sudan.jeevanvasagar

Do you think it will work if Khartoum is brought to court? Will the genocide stop completely?What do you think about the fact that if problems are brought to authorities, they aren't taken care of? "Women in Darfur have told the Guardian the police refused to listen to their claims. Midwives in the refugee camps said police failed to act despite evidence, including injuries from beatings which often accompanied the rapes. One midwife in a camp near El Geneina said: "If a girl goes to the police, the police tell her: 'It is better for you not to say anything about this rape.' We have seen cases where women were injured. One had a cut to her neck from a knife, another was struck on the head by an axe."

I don’t think that the Khartoum government should be taken to court. Because it wasn’t there problem that much that a girl was raped. They were trying to win a war and they didn’t think of anyone. If a person was really injured then I think they should have done something about it. But if no one is injured I feel like they had bigger problems of dieing and losing the war.

I don’t think the genocide will come to a stop, but it would defiantly slow down if it was confronted by more powerful nations. I think this is a problem that Sudan needs to fix its self.
