Overview:

My topic is based on the genocide that haunts the least developed countries. For quite some time now I have been drawn into the countless stories that arise from places such as Darfur, the Democratic of Congo, and other similar countries. My main focus would be the Women and Children that suffer due to the injustices brought upon them by their own people with the help of the most developed countries such as the United Sates of America. Mainly, I would like to shed some light on the life that these people live on a daily bases while our people here at home enjoy life without worries of being captured and forced into an army, or raped, or even murdered because they are from a different tribe.
