Armenian Genocide
The first genocide of the 20th century occurred when two millions Armenians
living in Turkey were eliminated from their historic homeland through forced
deportations and massacres during the government of the Young Turks from
1915 to 1917 in the Ottoman Empire. Even today, the Republic of Turkey
rejects the notion that the event constitutes genocide.

There was a mass killing of an estimated 800,000 ethnic Tutsis and moderate
Hutus by two extremist Hutu militia groups, the Interahamwe and the
Impuzamugambi, for about 100 days in 1994. Similar to the Jewish Holocaust,
the international community did nothing and were severely criticized.

Crisis.

Joseph Stalin, leader of the Soviet Union, set in motion events designed to
cause a famine in the Ukraine to destroy the people there seeking
independence from his rule. As a result, an estimated 7,000,000,000 persons
perished in this farming area, known as the breadbasket of Europe, with the
people deprived of the food they had grown with their own hands.

The Darfur Genocide
An ongoing armed conflict in the Darfur region of western Sudan, mainly
between the Janjaweed (translated: "devils on horsebacks"), a militia group
recruited from the tribes of the Abbala (camel herding Arabs), and the non-
Baggara people (mostly land-tilling tribes) of the region. The Sudanese
government, while publicly denying that it supports the Janjaweeds, has
provided money and assistance and has participated in joint attacks with the
group, systematically targeting ethnic groups in Darfur. The conflicts
began in July 2003.
The genocide in Darfur has taken the lives of an estimated 400,000 people,
and more than 2.5 million are displaced and in grave danger of more violence
and starvation.

The Bosnia Genocide
Historically, Bosnia is made of three diverse groups, the Serbs (othodox
Christians), the Croats (Catholics), and ethnic Albanians (Muslims). The
historical ethnic and religious differences is believed to have led
policies of agression and ethnic cleansing against Muslims between 1992 and
1995. The Bosnian government charged Serbia with committing genocide at the
International Court of Justice, however, in 2007, the court ruled that
Serbia was not complicit in genocide but did not take action to prevent
incidences of genocide in Srebrencia. There is disagreement between the
Serbian and Bosnian government about the possibility and/or scope of the
genocide.

The Rape of Nanking
The Nanking Massacre, commonly known as the Rape of Nanking, was an infamous
war crime committed by the Japanese military in Nanjing (Nanking), then the
capital of the Republic of China, after it fell to the Imperial Japanese
Army on December 13, 1937. The duration of the massacre is not clearly
defined, although the violence lasted well into the next six weeks, until
early February 1938. Japanese officials lied about civilian death figures
and still refuse to reveal them properly today.

NAMIBIA Genocide
The German Emperor replaced Major Leutwein with another commander, this time
a man notorious for brutality who had already fiercely suppressed African
resistance to German colonisation in East Africa. Lieutenant-General Lothar
von Trotha said, 'I wipe out rebellious tribes with streams of blood and
streams of money. Only following this cleansing can something new emerge'.

A hundred of years ago, three quarters of the Herero people of the German
colony of Namibia were killed, many in concentration camps. Today, the
