Genocide in Sudan: A Look at Three Events

Abstract

Introduction Genocide is 'as old as humanity' but surprisingly, according to Kreb, as recently as 'the Armenian case' genocide was referred to simply as a 'crime without a name.'] Scholars have, seemingly, disagreed over what the term does and does not mean ever since. The longitudinal jockeying for the proper definition is all the more magnified when one realises that there have been no fewer than 250 'violent conflicts' between 1945 and 1980 alone.
