Tentative Research Proposal

I am interested in researching the Darfur genocide because this genocide is still occurring in today's world and would want to learn more about it.  A specific aspect that I think that I will be looking into is specifically about the Janjaweed, which is the rebel group in Darfur, and how they have carried out the genocide.  Another aspect that I could investigate is the humanitarian aid that other nations are giving to Darfur.

Books that I will be looking into are The Devil Came on Horseback, Darfur Destroyed, and Genocide in Darfur.
Articles that I have read include: "U.N. Official Calls Darfur Aid Tenuous," "Rape as genocide in Darfur," and "Camp in Darfur refuses humanitarian aid."

Questions that I have include what the Janjaweed are doing to continue the genocide, whether it is through mass killings and/or rape, whether the humanitarian aid is able to reach the Darfur people, and if the UN and other international communities are providing enough aid to Darfur as well.
