2. All cultures have categories to distinguish
people into “us and them” by
race, ethnicity, religion, or nationality:
German and Jew, Hutu and Tutsi.
Bipolar societies that lack mixed
categories, such as Rwanda and Burundi are
most likely to have genocide.
4. We give names or other symbols to the
classifications.
We name people “Jews” or “Gypsies”, or
distinguish them by colors or dress; and apply
the symbols to members of groups
Classification and symbolization are universally
human and do not necessarily result in genocide
unless they lead to the next stage,
dehumanization.
When combined with hatred, symbols may be
forced upon unwilling members of pariah
groups.
5. For example: The yellow star for Jews under
Nazi rule, the blue scarf for people from the
Eastern Zone in Khmer Rouge Cambodia.
6. This is when one group denies the humanity
of the other group.
Members of it are equated with animals,
vermin, insects of diseases.
Dehumanization overcomes the normal
human revulsion against murder.
At this stage, hate propaganda in print and
on hate radios is used to vilify the victim
group.
8. Genocide is always organized, usually by the
state, often using militias to provide
deniability of state responsibility (The
Janjaweed in Darfur.)
Sometimes organization is informal(Hindu
mobs led by local RSS militias) or
decentralized (terrorist groups).
Special army units or militias are often
trained and armed.
Plans are made for genocidal killings.
10. Extremists drive the groups apart.
Hate groups broadcast polarizing
propaganda.
Laws may forbid intermarriage or social
interaction.
Extremist terrorism targets
moderates, intimidating and silencing the
center.
Moderates from the perpetrators own group
are most able to stop genocide, so are the
first to be arrested or killed.
11. Victims are identified and separated out
because of their ethnic or religious identity.
Death lists are drawn up. Members of victim
groups are forced to wear identifying
symbols.
Their property is expropriated.
They are often segregated into ghettos,
deported into concentration camps, or
confined to a famine-struck region and
starved.
13. Extermination became the mass killing legally
called genocide.
It is “extermination” to the killers because they
do not believe their victims to be fully human.
When it is sponsored by the state, the armed
forces often work with militias to do the killing.
Sometimes the genocide results in revenge
killings by groups against each other, creating
the downward whirlpool-like cycle of bilateral
genocide.
14.
15. Is the eighth stage that always follows a
genocide.
It is among the surest indicators of further
genocidal massacres.
The perpetrators of genocide dig up the mass
graves, burn the bodies, try to cover up the
evidence and intimidate the witnesses.
They deny that they committed any
crimes, and often blame what happened on
the victims.
16. They block investigations of the crimes, and
continue to govern until driven by
force, when they flee into exile.
There they remain with impunity, like Pol Pot
of Idi Amin, unless they are captured and a
tribunal is established to try them.
19. The genocide happened in the Darfur region
of Sudan.
20. It started in February 2003 and it is still going
on today.

21. Darfur rebel groups-the Sudan Liberation
Army and the Justice and Equality movement
vs. Sudan government or the Janjaweed.
The Janjaweed
22. Rebel groups rose against the Sudan
government, the Janjaweed then attacked
villages.
The Janjaweed displaced over 2,500,000
people and five thousand people are killed
each month.
There were many attempts to try to regain
peace but none of them have been effective.
23. A big struggle occurred over political
control, when Omar Bashir took control the
tension worsened.
Problems came up between African farmers
and the Arab tribes.
When rebel groups fought back, genocide
began.
Omar Bashir
24. The genocide in Darfur is still going on and it
continues to threaten the stability of the
region.
25. Polarization: Clash between African Farmers and Arab
Tribes.
Dehumanization: People were displaced and mistreated
and killed.
Organization: Darfur rebel groups-the Sudan Liberation
Army and the Justice and Equality movement.
Symbolization: Skin color is used to distinguish between
races.
Preparation: Militias were formed.
Extermination: Five thousand people are killed each
month.
Denial: The government of Sudan denies that the
genocide ever happened.
