Rodman, Kenneth Aaron. U64 v. Argues that the legal deterrence will not achieve peace in Darfur and post-atrocity justice will depend largely on methods used to end the mass atrocities. The Darfuris remain a vital cornerstone of our work. Solar Cooker Project: JWW initiated the Solar Cooker Project in as a way of protecting Darfuri women and girls — survivors of the Darfur genocide living as refugees in Eastern Chad — by reducing their dangerous trips outside of the camps in search of firewood for cooking, serving hundreds of thousands of refugees in five camps.
With the installation of inexpensive plastic sheeting and PVC pipes, women in refugee camps turned their family bathing areas into reservoirs for grey-water collection. They used the collected water to irrigate small vegetable patches. Many schools participated by raising funds to supply one water well, each a lifeline for refugees.
The wells were built with local supplies by local labor, organized and led by a JWW partner. The schools, designed to serve over 4, students, were the first of what was conceived as a series of schools to be built in the 12 Darfuri refugee camps in Chad. Backpack Project: This was created so that frightened children in the Oure Cassoni refugee camp in Chad could attend schools run by one of our partners.
JWW distributed over 15, backpacks filled with shoes, books, school supplies, soap and toothpaste to school-aged children. The backpacks allowed each recipient to make the most of school under the most difficult of circumstances. Each backpack also contained something intangible but essential to their well-being: hope. Little Ripples: Along with a partner organization, JWW supported Little Ripples, a preschool program tailored to a population exposed to severe trauma.
Little Ripples provides a safe and nurturing environment for some of the youngest refugees to learn while their parents must leave home during the day to seek out necessities. It serves children. The school has since sought to impact more children through a home-based model called Little Ripple Ponds. JWW collected 15, items through this initiative.
Clinics in Deleij and El Geneina: Working with a partner, JWW funded two permanent medical clinics in Sudan to serve approximately 40, internally displaced people and resident conflict-affected populations of Darfur near the border of Chad. Water Availability: JWW provided funding to a partner to improve the provision of water in three Sudanese refugee camps in Nyala and Kass South Darfur and the overpopulated and under-resourced Hamadiya camp in the Zalingei region West Darfur.
The relative helplessness of relying solely or largely on humanitarian assistance becomes empowerment via solidifying a sustainable livelihood and assists them in developing skills that can be transferable anywhere they may live. Many more people who spoke to the BBC also don't feel safe. They say the government, including the RSF, which grew out of the Janjaweed, are untrustworthy. In early July, 20 people were killed in inter-ethnic violence 60km 37 miles east of El Geneina.
One of the prerequisites to peace was a full integration of the RSF into the military. However, its commander, Mohamed Hamdan "Hemeti" Dagolo - who is also the country's vice-president, has since publicly refused to unify with the Sudanese armed forces. Experts believe this is slowing down the peace process, affecting Darfuris tormented by the violence of the past and present. Humanitarian organisations working on the ground have also emphasised the government's need to work harder to ensure security.
Elliot Vhurumuku, from the UN's World Food Programme - which is providing life-saving nutrition to more than a million people in the region - says every attack heightens food insecurity. With no end in sight for the violence that has engulfed West Darfur, the peace process is beginning to show signs of cracks.

Both China and Russia have blocked many United Nations resolutions on Darfur because of their support for the Sudanese government, a big trading partner. China invests heavily in Sudanese oil. Russia and China opposed UN peace keeping troops in Sudan. Since the ousting of Omar al-Bashir in early , the Sudanese government has established and retained a transitional government.
Although this government recently did agree to turn to turn over al-Bashir to the ICC, its next steps and transition to a permanent government remain to be seen. Arbitrary detention, torture, limitations of the freedom of press, and gender-based violence continue to be seen in both Darfur and Sudan as a whole under this new government.
