__** Preamble  **__
 * __Trouble In Darfur__**


 * Genocide is the intentional mass killing of a particular racial, national, cultural, or political group. This is what is currently happening in Darfur. Even though the Sudanese government and the U.N haven’t declared it, the United States has called it genocide. In Darfur there is a conflict going on in many parties. The current conflict is that Sudanese Government and Black Africans aren’t getting along and they have other people fighting there battles for them. For instance, the Black Africans have the SLA which is a rebel group against the Janjaweed who fights for the Sudanese Government. The Black Africans are being driven out of Darfur because there is a drought there and the Arabs want the rest of the land. The Sudanese Government is supplying the Janjaweed with weapons to kill the Black Africans. This peace plan is to compromise and solve this tragic problem.

** __ ** Article I ** __ __ **Land** __ __ ** Explanation- ** __ Janjawed had poor land they couldn’t grown nothing for a long time. So then the black Africans were running away for all of the problems. There is documented account of racial epithets being used against the Black Africans by the Arab Janjaweed. Arabs and Black Africans have lived in the Darfur region of Sudan in relative peace and harmony. We will also get people to help irrigate the fields so there I more land to do different things. After this the Janjaweed and Black African will not fight over the land.
 * __ Actions- __ **

__ ** Article II ** __ **__Ending the Killing__**

__**Explanation**-__ The Sudanese are killing the Black Africans by supplying the Janjaweed with Weapons. The Sudanese are trying to get rid of all the Black Africans because they want the power. They want all the people that aren’t Arabian to be out of Darfur. They want all the power to go to the Arabs. Bashir is also a main part in this because he is Arabian, so of course he is going to want his kind of people to be in power. __ ** Action- ** __ Before we do anything else, we are classifying this as Genocide because there have been so many killings. We have decided to separate the Black Africans and the Janjaweed in separate parts of Darfur. There will be certain areas that will be only for each grouping. We will also get people to help irrigate the fields so there is plenty of land to work on and grow crops.

__ ** Article III China’s Interest and Political Power ** __

__ **Explanation-** __ China and Sudan have a mutual trade relationship. China purchases 71% of Sudan’s total exports, provides Sudan with 21% of its global imports and in return Sudan supplies oil to China. But the money that Sudan gets from selling oil is helping fund the Sudanese government’s campaign for the Genocide in Darfur. China also has had an active military arrangement with Sudan since the 1990’s. China has supplied arms and weapons to Sudan and has even helped them establish weapon factories. China also has strong political ties with the Sudanese government. __ There are multiple ways to solve this problem. Since China has a lot of power, if we are able to convince China, they would be able to pressure the Sudanese government into accepting international peacekeepers. China’s president, Hu Jintao, could meet with the president of Sudan, al-Bashir, and propose that if Sudan does not take action on the Genocide and try to stop it then China will reconsider trading with Sudan and purchasing the majority of their exports.
 * Solution-** __

__ ** Article IV ** __ __**SLA**__ **__Interest__

__Explanation-__** The Janjaweed and the Sudanese Government want power of the Arabs and all of the Black Africans out of Sudan. The SLA is rebel group that disagree with what the Janjaweed and the Sudanese Government are doing. Essentially they are defending the Black Villages. What they really want is political power in the Sudanese Government.

__ ** Action- ** __ The steps that I am going to take to help these Black Africans but mostly the SLA interest in gaining political power over the Sudanese Government. The first step is prosecuting the people responsible for the genocide in Darfur. Next step is holding an election for some of the SLA candidates.

__ **Article V** __ __**ICC Interest**__

__**Explanation-**__ The Sudanese Government and the Janjaweed rebel group were driving the Black Africans out of Darfur and Sudan. They went into there villages rapped there women and burned down there homes. The Janjaweed killed families and shed lots of blood through the streets of Darfur. The ICC wants the people responsible for these acts thrown in jail for committing this horrible crime against the innocent Black Africans.

__ **Action** __**-** My peace plan is going to bring justice the Sudanese Government, Al-Bashir, and the rebel group that call them selves the Janjaweed. Trial will be held for Al-Bashir and other high ranking members of the Janjaweed and also the Sudanese Government.
