Discussion

           Today, the practice of genocide can be observed in the case of different deprived nations and specific ethnic groups. It is important to consider it a severe social problem that depicts the dark side of this work. The mass killing of people in the form of genocide demands human intervention on an immediate basis to safe precious lives as much as possible. The risk of genocide prevalence increases against an out-group referring to a specific society. The approach of genocide used by the strong social group to attain better control in society. The phenomenon of the Holocaust is the first formal recognition of the criminal domain of genocide considering guidelines of international law. 

           The formation of the Genocide Convention was the major development to significantly address the issue of genocide. The central aim of this international effort is to ensure proper protection of basic human rights for all the individuals irrespective of their connection with specific races or ethnic groups. Unfortunately, the approach of the Genocide Convention is completely ineffective to provide better social grounds to all human beings and eradicate the risk of genocide for any group. The current cases of genocide in Sudan, Darfur, and Zimbabwe are explicit examples of the insignificant role of the Genocide Convention. The international community needs to make better valuable efforts to eliminate the option of genocide from the entire world. 

           It is important to critically examine the social catastrophe of genocide in cases of Sudan, Darfur, and Zimbabwe to explore various dimensions of this issue. The critical observation of the global perspective revealed that the region of Africa enormously affecting the issue of genocide. People of Sudan, Darfur, and Zimbabwe are immensely suffering from the risk of killing at a massive level. The political power game is the main driving force of the issue of genocide.

The imperative implications of this genocide can also be observed in the form of rape cases and this struggle is all started since 2003. The massive killing of Darfur people characterized as the first genocide appeared in the 21st century.

It is reported that a group of Janjaweed aimed to systematically demolish the Darfur community by adopting different criminal activities. These practical criminal actions are mainly recognized as scorching townships, looting economic resources, raping, and killing of civilians. The existence of rebellion in the case of different ethnic groups causes the extensive problem of genocide for Darfuri people. The imbalance social history of Sudan as a nation is another major cause of current conflict observing as a chronic form of genocide. The power and authority of politics restrict to achieve the objective of peace for the area of Sudan and ultimately turned as mass killing. 

           The country of Zimbabwe is also suffering from the massive issue of genocide that affects people’s lives in many different forms. The disturbing ethnic and colonial history of Zimbabwe is a major cause of current massive destruction in the form of genocide. The clash between the black population and the white minority is established as the major cause of growing tension in the region. International reports mentioned that the minority group of the country in the form of white citizens was massively targeted by Mugabe’s autocracy to obtain support from the black population ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"JRsQdUsI","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Genocidewatch, 2013)","plainCitation":"(Genocidewatch, 2013)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":1491,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/NFNT3H4S"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/NFNT3H4S"],"itemData":{"id":1491,"type":"webpage","title":"Genocide Alerts: Zimbabwe","container-title":"Genocidewatch.net","author":[{"family":"Genocidewatch","given":""}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2013"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Genocidewatch, 2013).
