Why Darfur is not a Modern-Day Rwanda. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, January 2009, Pages: 84
In the media, the current humanitarian crisis in
Darfur, Sudan, is constantly being compared to the
Rwandan genocide in 1994. A crucial question to ask,
therefore, is whether this is a fair and fitting
assessment of the current conflict or whether this is
a sloppy means to rally support for an appropriate
intervention in the region (which is indisputably
needed). This book focuses on two research questions.
First, it compares the two conflicts and extracts the
main differences, and then it uncovers the social,
economic, historical and political causes for these
differences. Secondly, it considers the existing
typologies of genocide and uses these differences to
create a new typology of genocide.
Although this research aims at pointing out the
differences between the conflicts in Rwanda and in
Darfur, its intention is not to discourage or to
dishearten those who are pushing for an effective
intervention in Darfur. On the contrary, any
intervention should be grounded on the right reasons,
and not because this conflict has been coined the
modern-day Rwanda.
