O ver the course of the last 7 years, there have been killings of Black Africans by the Arab Sudanese militant forces and the militia group the Janjaweed. The genocide has been a problem for the UN and the African Union. This peace proclamation hereby states that the differences between the two groups are a problem until there is stability in the country.

Article I Land: P: In the conflict in Darfur, the extremist militant group the Janjaweed and the Sudanese government are trying to rid Darfur of Black Africans. The Janjaweed and the Sudanese government are Arabs and they want Darfur to be predominately Arab and rid all of Darfur of the Black Africans. The Janjaweed and the Sudanese government drive the black villagers out of their villages in order to get rid of them. They kill the villagers set fire to their homes and they would rape any women that leave the village to scavenge for food or firewood.

S: What we are proposing to do as a solution to this problem, is that we will send in troops to Darfur to protect the villagers and support the SLA and the AU.

Article II Killing must end: P: There are massacres going on in Darfur and the conflict is getting out of hand. If we don’t take drastic measures, the killings will continue. S: We are suggesting that we should reason with the Sudanese government to stop the killing. When we send the support, it should help with the killings being less severe.

Article III Political Power:

P: The Sudanese Government wants power for Arabs and are looking to drive Black Africans off the land. They have even gone as far as bombing villages and supplying the Janjaweed with weapons in order to achieve their goal.

S: We are proposing to have the Janjaweed be moved out of the Sudan and give the Arabs control of some land, but not all of it. We also plan to move the civilians back into their villages. Article IV Chinas interest:

P: China is the Sudan’s biggest trade partner (71% of exports go to China). They supply the Sudanese government with weapons in exchange for oil. These weapons are then given to the Janjaweed who use them to drive the Black Africans off the land.

S: We propose that when we make changes to the government, China remains the largest trading partner of the Sudan. However, they must find a new way to acquire the oil as we do not want weapons to continue to be imported into the area.

** Article V U.S. interest: **
 * P: ** ** Peace for all people of the region as the highest priority for U.S. interest towards Darfur. **
 * S ****:** The genocide in Darfur and other violence throughout Sudan are economic, political, social, cultural conflicts, and long-running of violence. U.S. involvement in the region should support the people of Darfur and the surrounding region in their own work to break these issues and resolve the conflicts. In addition, past activities by U.S. oil corporations in Sudan and the ongoing global race to secure oil resources have contributed to a climate of mistrust and manipulation. The U.S. has also led people to believe that there was in fact a genocide occurring in the African area.

Article VII SLA interest: P: SLA attacked, destroyed, and killed civilians, policeman, developments, projects, and school centers. S: The government of Sudan then engages its military against the "rebels", and also recruits an all-volunteer 'Popular Defense Force' from the local and national communities. They then give the SLA warning stating that if they do not stop their killings and destructions toward the region, they will be forced to attack back. If they cooperate, they make a peace plan to leave the region alone and return home. If they do not cooperate, they then resume battle until peace agreement or terms are made.

Article VI Villagers Interests: **P**: The villagers, who only wanted to farm and care for their families were being invaded by a group called the Janjaweed. Since arriving four years ago in a herd of horses and camels and guns, the militiamen known as Janjaweed have killed several of the 500 people who live here, villagers said, beaten others and generally menaced the population into believing that their village could be destroyed at any moment, like hundreds of others across the Darfur region of western Sudan.
 * S:** Create a new government in order to take order and control of the Janjaweed to prevent them from attacking at will when ever they needed something. Allow the Janjaweed to have power and land but they must obey law. In order to get some things they want their ideas must be taken through the government and not through aggression and genocide.

Article VIII ICC goals and views:
 * P:** The ICC ( International Criminal Court) wants justice for the villagers by prosecuting criminals responsible for the result and carrying out of the genocide. Their main suspect was the president of the Sudanese government, Al-Bashir. The information was well known that government officials and troops were seen interacting with the Janjaweed. They believe Al-Bashir gave orders to supply the Janjaweed and gave them protection and a probable cause to commit these crimes.


 * S: ** The people responsible for the crimes committed will be punished by the ICC according to law. If the people come forward then their sentence can be lowered severally, but if they try to hide and they are found they will be charged with the max penalty permitted by their actions according to international law.
