The Darfur conflict is an ongoing armed conflict in the Darfur region of western Sudan, mainly between the Janjaweed, 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 Janjaweed, has provided arms and assistance and has participated in joint attacks with the group, systematically targeting the Fur, Zaghawa, and Massaleit ethnic groups in Darfur. The conflict began in July 2003. Unlike in the Second Sudanese Civil War, which was fought between the primarily Muslim north and Christian and Animist south, in Darfur most of the residents are Muslim, as are the Janjaweed. Estimated number of deaths in the conflict have ranged from 50000 (World Health Organization, September 2004) to 450000 (Dr. Eric Reeves, 28 April 2006). Most NGOs use 400000, a figure from the Coalition for International Justice that has since been cited by the United Nations. As many as 2.5 million are thought to have been displaced. The mass media have described the conflict as both "ethnic cleansing" and "genocide." The US Government has described it as genocide, although the United Nations has declined to do so. en.wikipedia.org www.savedarfur.org

For more news & videos visit ☛english.ntdtv.com One of Burma's biggest rebel groups is demanding better dialogue with the country's military rulers. They say that if the situation doesn't improve, fighting will become widespread and intensify. These men are recent recruits to Burma's rebel Shan State Army. They're in training for what their leaders say could become a wider and more intense conflict against government forces. They fear the new administration will try to crush them with military might. [Yawd Serk, Chairman, Shan State Army] "If the new Burmese government doesn't want to open up for the ethnic minority groups to take part in solving problems, but uses its armed forces to oppress these groups, then the fighting will spread out to broader areas than where it is now." Last month thousands fled as fighting erupted in Myawaddy town on the Thai border. The conflict began when a Karen faction, the Democratic Karen Buddhist Army, tried to seize the town as an act of defiance over government demands to join border patrols. Burma's military rulers want the ethnic militias to disarm and transfer their fighters to a state-run border guard force. Some ethnic groups including those with tenuous ceasefires with the government are increasingly unhappy at what they regard as interference. The Shan State Army leaders say they could equal the size of the government's forces if all the ethnic rebel groups united. Burmese exiles say the country's military rulers will probably <b>...</b>

The Darfur conflict is an ongoing armed conflict in the Darfur region of western Sudan, mainly between the Janjaweed, 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 Janjaweed, has provided arms and assistance and has participated in joint attacks with the group, systematically targeting the Fur, Zaghawa, and Massaleit ethnic groups in Darfur
The War in Darfur (called by some, including the American Government[1], the Darfur Genocide) is a military conflict in the Darfur region of western Sudan. Unlike the Second Sudanese Civil War, the current lines of conflict are seen to be ethnic and tribal, rather than religious.[2] One side of the armed conflict is composed mainly of the Sudanese military and the Janjaweed, a militia group recruited mostly from the Arab Baggara tribes of the northern Rizeigat, camel-herding nomads. The other side comprises a variety of rebel groups, notably the Sudan Liberation Movement and the Justice and Equality Movement, recruited primarily from the land-tilling non-Arab Fur, Zaghawa, and Massaleit ethnic groups. The Sudanese government, while publicly denying that it supports the Janjaweed, has provided money and assistance to the militia and has participated in joint attacks targeting the tribes from which the rebels draw support.[3] The conflict began in February of 2003. The combination of decades of drought, desertification, and overpopulation are among the causes of the Darfur conflict, because the Baggara nomads searching for water have to take their livestock further south, to land mainly occupied by non-Arab farming communities.[4]

Indonesia is already applying law no. 40, established last year to end discrimination against minorities and ethnic groups in the country. To show their gratitude, the Indonesia-Chinese Forum and the Indonesia National Institute will hold a musical drama titled, Thank You Indonesia this Friday at the Jakarta International Expo. [Murdaya W. Poo, Indonesia Nationality Institute Chairman]: The validity of this law set on October 28, 2008 is an amazing prize for Indonesia people, mainly the Chinese people in Indonesia. Its an amazing red envelope. Now Chinese people can freely interact with the other 300 ethnic goups in Indonesia. This is an amazing issue. Both Indonesian and Chinese art and culture are combined in the show. The drama will illustrate how ethnic Chinese people now have the same rights as Indonesian citizens. Many top artists will perform, including Titiek Puspa, Iga Mewarni, Helena, Judika Idol, and Koko-Cici Jakarta. [Titiek Puspa, Musical Drama Artist]: We feel thankful to the government, which already published the law. Like well perform how the Javanese peoples conflict with the Batak people. How every ethnicity is in some conflict. At the end, I come in to stop this conflict; I tell them that nowadays there is a new law. Now we have the same rights and duties. Indonesia President, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono plans to watch the drama. He will probably receive much appreciation from the ethnic-Chinese at the show.
Darfur Region - Sudan Genocide on border of Chad and the doorway to the Arab worlds. The Darfur conflict is a complex crisis in the Darfur region of western Sudan. One side of the armed conflict is composed mainly of the Sudanese military and the Janjaweed, a militia group recruited mostly from the tribes of the northern Rizeigat, camel-herding nomads.

Unlike in the Second Sudanese Civil War, which was fought between the primarily Muslim north and Christian and Animist south, almost all of the combatants and victims in Darfur are Muslim. The government and Janjaweed attacks upon the non-Baggara civilian populace have resulted in a major humanitarian crisis. There are many casualty estimates, most concurring on a range within the hundreds of thousands. The United Nations (UN) estimates that the conflict has left as many as 450000 dead from violence and disease.

The two have since become sworn enemies, with DKBA troops joining the Burmese army in its quest to eliminate armed ethnic groups. But all is not united within the DKBA, and in recent months a number of troops have returned to their old unit, taking up arms once more as they eye the final goal of one of the world's longest-running civil wars: an independent Karen state, free of the ethnic cleansing campaigns of the ruling junta. www.dvb.no
Armenian troops defend against Azerbaijan attack in Nagorno-Karabakh. Armenia give heavy causalities to the fighting force of Azerbaijan. Armenia currently controls 90% of Negorno-Karabakh. The Nagorno-Karabakh War refers to the armed conflict that took place from February 1988 to May 1994, in the small ethnic enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh(I) in southwestern Azerbaijan, between the majority ethnic Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh backed by the Republic of Armenia against the Republic of Azerbaijan. As the war progressed, Armenia and Azerbaijan, both former Soviet Republics, became enveloped in a protracted, undeclared war in the mountainous heights of Karabakh as Azerbaijan attempted to curb a secessionist movement in Nagorno-Karabakh. The enclave's parliament had voted in favor of uniting itself with Armenia and a referendum was held with the vast majority of the Karabakh population voting in favor of independence. The demand to unify with Armenia, which proliferated in the late 1980s, began in a relatively peaceful manner; however, in the following months, as the Soviet Union's disintegration neared, it gradually grew into an increasingly violent conflict between the two ethnic groups, resulting in claims of ethnic cleansing by all sides.[6][7] Inter ethnic fighting between the two broke out shortly after the parliament of Nagorno-Karabakh, an autonomous oblast in Azerbaijan, voted to unify the region with Armenia on February 20, 1988.

Québec a Nation History (Part 21) Act of Union and Louis Riel The Act of Union passed in July 1840 and proclaimed February 10, 1841, abolished the legislatures of Lower Canada (Québec) and Upper Canada (Ontario) and established a new political entity, the Province of Canada to replace them. This act effecting the political union of The Canadas was similar in nature and in goals to the other Acts of Union enacted by the British Parliament. The Burning of the Parliament Buildings in Montreal occurred on the night of April 25, 1849. Political organisation under the Union Act was inspired by Lord Durham's report. Lord Durham was sent to the colonies to examine the causes of the Rebellions of 1837 in both Upper and Lower Canada. Durham concluded that the real problem was the ethnic conflict between French and English. According to Durham, the French culture in Canada had changed little in 200 years, and showed no sign of progress like British culture had. His report contains the famous assessment that Canada consisted of "two nations warring within the bosom of a single state." He write that the so-called "French Canadians" had no history and no culture and that the conflict was primarily that of two ethnic groups. Louis Riel (Manitoba History) The first resistance was the Red River Rebellion of 1869-1870. The provisional government established by Riel declared Manitoba a independant Métis republic.

Kazan is the capital of the Russian Republic of Tatarstan, located about 800 kms east of Moscow. In Kazan although the majority of the population are Muslim, 40% are Orthodox but exceptionally for this part of the world the two religions co-exist side by side with no tensions. The annual music festival "Creation of Peace" - founded by an icon of Russian rock scene Andrey Makarevich - celebrates this harmony. He says, "It's a creation of peace in the sense of creating an alternative to war. Our understanding is that the only environment today where you won't find racial, ethnic or national prejudices or conflicts seems to be the music stage. The rest of the world would do better taking that as an example". The unusal mix of styles and cultures creates an eclectic musical patchwork reflecting the profound diversity of this region. Among the 70-odd ethnic groups here, the two largest are the Tatars and the Russians. The city is dominated by the Kazan Kremlin, a world heritage citadel in the historical centre of the city. Inside the citadel, almost like a symbol of mutual friendship and respect, is one of Europe's largest mosques, the Qol-Sarif mosque. And just next door, is the Russian Orthodox Cathedral of the Annunciation. Both are important piligrimage sites and together are seen as model of tolerance. Which is why Kazan was chosen as the location for the "Creation of Peace" festival which aims to reunite artists from countries divided by religious, political or military <b>...</b>

Burma's longstanding political and humanitarian crisis has displaced millions of people forcing many to flee to neighbouring countries. The first refugees arrived and set up camps along the Thailand-Burma border in 1984. Today, more than 140, 000 refugees mostly from Eastern Burma are living in nine camps along Thailand's western border. Most are from the Karen, Karenni, Mon, and Shan ethnic groups. Since 2005, refugees in the camps have been offered the opportunity to apply for resettlement to third countries. However, the camp populations are not decreasing because a new generation is being born and people continue to flee the ongoing conflict in Burma. The Thailand Burma Border Consortium, an alliance of 12 international NGOs including Christian Aid in the UK, has been providing food and shelter to Burmese refugees and displaced people for 25 years.

In ethnic minority communities of Eastern Burma, land mines are a threat to the security of thousands of people - civilians as well as armed forces - on a daily basis.

Creating a "New Nepal" : The Ethnic Dimension by Susan Hangen, 2007 Policy Studies, No. 34 Publisher: Washington, DC: East-West Center Washington This study explores the ethnic dimension of the challenges that Nepal currently faces. Although Nepal has made substantial progress toward regaining political stability since April 2006, ethnic conflict has become a major problem. The indigenous nationalities movement, whose origins and demands are examined here, identifies fifty-nine diverse groups as indigenous nationalities, and has mobilized them to revitalize their own cultures and end the domination of the state by high-caste Hindus. The movement seeks ethnic federalism, the proportional representation of indigenous nationalities in state institutions and linguistic freedom. It has contributed to democratization by creating awareness of ethnic issues and pressuring the state into addressing ethnic inequality. Analysts often credit the Nepali Communist Party (Maoist) for transforming the political discourse and system through their decade-long People's War. The contributions of the indigenous nationalities movement must be recognized, however, so that indigenous nationalities will be acknowledged as rightful political leaders. To create long-term stability and strengthen democracy, the state should adopt policies that create an inclusive political system. All marginalized groups must be adequately represented in decision-making bodies. A proportional election system would <b>...</b>

Native Americans in the United States is the phrase that describes indigenous peoples from North America now encompassed by the continental United States, including parts of Alaska and the island state of Hawaii. They comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which survive as intact political communities. Native Americans have also been known as Indians, American Indians, Aboriginal Americans, Amerindians, Amerinds, Colored, First Americans, Indigenous, Original Americans, Red Indians, Redskins or Red Men. European colonization of the Americas led to centuries of conflict and adjustment between Old and New World societies. Most of the written historical record about Native Americans was made by Europeans after initial contact. Native Americans lived in hunter/farmer subsistence societies with significantly different value systems than those of the European colonists. The differences in culture between the Native Americans and Europeans, and the shifting alliances among different nations of each culture, led to great misunderstandings and long lasting cultural conflicts. Estimates of the pre-Columbian population of what today constitutes the United States of America vary significantly, ranging from 1 million to 18 million. Native Americans today have a unique relationship with the United States of America because they can be found as members of nations, tribes, or bands of Native Americans who have sovereignty or independence from the <b>...</b>

Contrary to what many people might think, most migration is within the developing world—"among countries that already face enormous challenges in terms of provisions for their populations, but also ethnic conflict," says Christian Leuprecht in this short video preview of his article, Migration as the Demographic Wild Card in Civil Conflict: Mauritius and Fiji, now appearing in the 13th issue of Environmental Change and Security Program Report. "So if you have particular ethnic groups, religious groups, or linguistic groups then spilling over borders, there's a good chance they might destabilize the neighboring country; not just because of carrying capacity and provision of services within that country, but also because it changes the population dynamics and group dynamics within that particular country, says Leuprecht. Leuprecht, an assistant professor at the Royal Military College of Canada, and six other demographic experts analyze the links connecting population and environmental dynamics to conflict in a set of commentaries on "New Directions in Demographic Security."

A documentary film produced by German students about the foundation of a private school in Prizren, Kosovo and its chances to aid peace and development in the region. Kosovo in the year 2005 - six years after the war the future of the small region in the south of the former Yugoslavia is still uncertain. The ethnic conflict between Albanians and Serbs is not solved, the economy is weak and the educational system is ailing - thus there are little opportunities and outlooks for the predominantly young population. The German Jesuit Walter Happel is in Kosovo to carry out an ambitious project. He wants to found and head a high school and boarding school in the city of Prizren. The "Loyola Gymnasium" is to make a contribution to the improvement of the educational situation and lay a foundation for the reconciliation of the ethnic groups. "Prizren, Transit Road" acompanies the project until the opening of the school. It aims to aid the understanding of today's situation and to go into the backgrounds of the Kosovo conflict.

Lauguage: English 4. Economy: Main stays are rice, sugar, bauxite, gold mining, timber and minerals. 5. Government: From the early 1960s to the late 1980s political leaders were committed to Marxism. This created a lot of conflict and tension and really hurt the economy. It is now a secular state with full religious freedom. 6. Health: Life in Guyana is very hard. In 1990 there was only one doctor per 6800 people. The shortage of housing is a critical problem in urban areas. Lack of clean water and effective waste disposal is a serious problem. The poorer areas lack electricity and running water. Basic health services in the interior are primitive to non existent. Major diseases are Typhoid Fever, Dengue Fever, and Malaria.

By Natasha Elkington LONDON (AlertNet) - The poignant story of Myanmar's refugees living in and around a putrid rubbish dump on the Thai border town of Mae Sot speaks volumes about the resilience of human nature. Despite the poverty, health risks and harassment they face from the Thai authorities on a constant basis, many refugee families have lived at the site for years, struggling to earn minuscule wages for the plastic they collect for recycling. "Every human rights violation on the planet is there in its worse element," Reuters photographer Damir Sagolj told me in a phone interview. "However, these people on the dump site are actually happy because they know what they have left behind in Burma (Myanmar) is much worse," he added. For more than five decades, Myanmar has suffered conflict between the repressive ruling military regime, political opponents and ethnic groups, resulting in the displacement of over 3.5 million Burmese. The exact number of Burmese living in and around the town of Mae Sot is unclear but aid groups estimate the number could be some 200000, most of them are illegal refugees. There are three main camps around Mae Sot - Mae La, Noe Po and Umpium with Mae La being the biggest refugee camp in Southeast Asia. According to Sagolj, who frequently returns to Mae Sot to document life there, the situation on the dump site has improved quite a lot recently. It's mostly thanks to the work of an organisation founded by Buddhist monks called "The Best Friend <b>...</b>

Native Americans in the United States is the phrase that describes indigenous peoples from North America now encompassed by the continental United States, including parts of Alaska and the island state of Hawaii. They comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which survive as intact political communities. Native Americans have also been known as Indians, American Indians, Aboriginal Americans, Amerindians, Amerinds, Colored, First Americans, Indigenous, Original Americans, Red Indians, Redskins or Red Men. European colonization of the Americas led to centuries of conflict and adjustment between Old and New World societies. Most of the written historical record about Native Americans was made by Europeans after initial contact. Native Americans lived in hunter/farmer subsistence societies with significantly different value systems than those of the European colonists. The differences in culture between the Native Americans and Europeans, and the shifting alliances among different nations of each culture, led to great misunderstandings and long lasting cultural conflicts. Estimates of the pre-Columbian population of what today constitutes the United States of America vary significantly, ranging from 1 million to 18 million. Native Americans today have a unique relationship with the United States of America because they can be found as members of nations, tribes, or bands of Native Americans who have sovereignty or independence from the <b>...</b>

transcript available at www.microtopia.org After Bush's invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan, Gadaffi and his Government gave in to the West, and followed the Wests demand to liberalize, creating unemployment for the first time, and selling State Enterprises to International Corporations. In 1995 a prison uprising occurred an 1200 Islamist Radicals were killed by the security forces, 1 in every 6000 Libyans. It was the families of these martyrs that drove the protests of February 17. The more populous and cosmopolitan West of Libya was favored, and many of the larger tribes were closely allied with Gaddafi two of these tribes alone comprised nearly 1/3 of Libya's population. The People of the South of Libya who were predominantly Black, were also favored, with large investments in modernization made in Sabha, the chief city of Fezzan the southernmost state of Libya. At the time of the rebellion, which was put down violently with around 400 killed, the Misurata tribe and the Obeidi tribes along with others opposed Gadaffi and still do. The Warfala also turned against Gadaffi. But most Libyans not active in the armed element of the rebellion, became sympathetic as NATO began its campaign of bombing, killing about half the young men and women serving in the Libyan armed forces around 15000. The clan system of Libya would suppose that at least 10 people would sympathize with the Gadaffi government with the loss of a loved one. So we can assume at least 150000 libyans had family <b>...</b>

♦1492 was the year that the Taino-Arawak people found Columbus lost and confused. Columbus of course did not think he was lost. He thought he had landed in India, and he naturally thought the Taino-Arawak were Indians; hence the Genesis of "name-calling" and the application of an Eastern-constructed and erroneous identity onto a people who already knew who they were, first began with Christopher Columbus. European colonization of the Americas led to centuries of conflict and adjustment between Old and "New World" societies. Most of the written historical record about Native Americans was made by Europeans after initial contact The indigenous peoples of the "Western Hemisphere" [The "Americas"] are the pre-Columbian inhabitants of North, Central, and South America, their descendants, and many ethnic groups who identify with their ancestors. They are often also referred to as Native Americans, Originals, First Nations and by Christopher Columbus' geographical and historical mistake, Indians. This is an intro to the History of one of the many Original Inhabitants of the "Western Hemisphere". The History of Native Americans has been denied, but this video(s) will focuse on the History of Mexicans and "Central Americans". This is an tempt to tell their History which focuses on the cultural, sociological, natural aspects, their peoples, traditions, and land from their own perspective before Europeans came to the "Americas". I will try to clear the misconceptions about the <b>...</b>
