Hoping that the Holocaust of the Jewish people, of the Gypsies and the Slav populations performed by the Nazi regime were the last in the history has proved to be tragically illusory; also the humanitarian commitment of the UN and that of the humanitarian organizations in all the world has made too little to avoid the massacres or holocausts occurred after W.W. II. The massacre in Darfur, the insulated desert north-western region of Sudan is one of them.

Here, the Sudanese fundamentalist Islamic regime , lead by Omar al Bashir, wants to cancel the presence of the Black people in this region, in the largest part, Muslim as well. It's since 2003 that this people, living in the small villages of this desert or semi-desert and partially mountainous region, is attacked and killed by the Islamic militias (named "Janjawid" and armed and sponsored by Sudanese regime) who arrive suddenly by horses or jeeps to massacre the people, destroy the villages and rape and kill the women. They perform the "dirty work" for the Sudanese Army, after the defeats of 2003 and 2004 by the local guerrilla, in war against the misery and the bad administration of the Sudanese regime.

In this way, millions of people of the Fur, Masalit and Zaghawa groups are chased away from their villages and obliged to reach, when possible, great refugees camps, near the bordering Chad, or in its territory, where the living conditions are tragic.

The help Chad can provide for this poor people is very little and only the humanitarian organization can provide food, medicines, clean water and other necessary good to partially satisfy the basic needs of these refugees; so, diseases and hunger are killing also in those camps and children are, as usual in those situations, the main victims, for infections, malnutrition, violence. The UN haven't still condemned with decision this massacre clearly defining it as genocide and sending international troops in this region, also against the Sudan's approbation because they fear the reaction of the Sudanese Army that wants to keep its "licence to kill".

This massacre is close to the Holocaust for the task to eradicate a whole community, the only difference from the Nazi Holocaust is that the Darfur genocide is not scientifically and industrially organized in extermination camps like in the Nazi Germany, but the work
