West Pakistan Genocide

Syria’s civil war is the worst humanitarian crisis of modern time. The “Syrian Civil war Began in March of 2011, between rebel brigades and government force; economy and infrastructure is destroyed” (Library, 2016). “Divisions between secular and religious fighters, and between ethnic groups, continue to complicate the politics of the conflict” (Corps, 2016). Additionally, the Syrian civil war has taken a significant

For the bloodbath in March-December 1971 - when the Pakistani army executed a largely unarmed Bengali population in the then vital part of Pakistan’s state known as “East Pakistan”, in an effort to suppress the region’s demand for independence - was at the time the biggest story in the world’s media.

In the past 150 years, tens of millions of men, women and children have lost their lives to ethnic cleansing or genocide. Although the definition is often scrutinized, according to Merriam Webster, "Genocide is the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political or cultural group". The most notable event associated with the term is the Holocaust. Stated by Judah Gribets, Edward Greenstein and Regina Stein, "nearly six million Jews fell victim to genocide during the years of the Holocaust". Of This number, one million were children who were unable to take care of themselves. People's hopes and dreams for the future were stripped from them, and many families were ripped apart. Many of these people were tortured or raped

Genocide occurs in several nations and causes millions of lives to be lost. The slaughter of innocent men, women, and children continue daily, and will happen until the world and its people grow tired of the unnecessary loss of life and work to aid those in need. Darfurians are a prime example of what can happen when ones lives are not valued because of the difference in beliefs.

The slaughtering of 1.5 million innocent people at the hands of a cruel failing empire. Families and friends torn apart for no reason and all while being silenced from the rest of the world. The Armenian Genocide was swept under the rug by the successor to the Ottoman empire, the Turkish Republic. The cruelty in slaughtering millions of people, to using them for slave labor, and numerous death camps for women and children the Armenian Genocide was a tragic time in the history of Armenians and they are being denied recognition for their ancestors tragic loss of life. The crimes against humanity caused by the Ottomans and the Turks in the killing of millions of people is further inflated by the deliberate withholding

In Barbara Harffs “No Lessons Learned from the Holocaust?” she explains the factors that serve as warnings for genocide/politicide and gives a detailed definition of what genocide is. She gives two definitions. The first is from The U.N. that defines genocide as “acts committed with intent to destroy in whole or part, a national ethnical, racial, or religious group” (58). Harff also explains the six factors in the genocide structural model. Also explains why these factors are warnings signs of future genocide. I will describe them in the following paragraphs and explain how they relate to the genocide in Syria.

Over the past four years, the situation within the Syria has become more and more dangerous. As many as 6.7 million people, have been displaced from their homes within the country alone. Another 4 million have fled the country entirely, in order to get away from the incessant fighting. An estimated 200,000 people have been killed over the course of the war, but the country is so

Many years has been passed but still when we read the Sikh genocide in 1984, our eyes filled with the tears.

When someone does something wrong, they have the choice of whether or not they want to take responsibility for their actions. Most people recognize and apologize for their wrongdoing, whether it takes a couple days or weeks. However, some people choose to never admit to what they have done. This is the case of the Sikh genocide, which was known as one of the darkest times in Indian history. On October 31, 1984, Indira Gandhi was assassinated by her Sikh bodyguards. In response, many anti-Sikh mobs, mostly members of the Congress Party, attempted to exterminate Sikhs in India. The Indian government officials and law enforcement often participated in the annihilation by engaging in violence, seeking vengeance, and providing mobs with weapons.

The eventual genocide was preceded by a number of events that angered the Bengali people, which would inspire some to take to nationalism and lead to government intervention. First, months after the creation of Pakistan, Urdu was declared the national language by the governor-general in 1948, despite the fact that only four percent of the population could speak it. As a result of negativity to the Western Bengali people, those who supported the use of Bengali received the label of a traitor, terrorist, and enemies of the state. In response to successive governments’ refusals to recognize Bengali as the second national language, the Bengali people created a language movement that soon became supported by the new Awami League, an alternative

The genocide started on 26th March,1971 with the initiation of OPERATION SEARCHLIGHT which was begun on the mid night.It was an arranged military operation did by the Pakistani Army  Bengali individuals from military administrations were disarmed.It was one of the biggest genocides in the current known history.Before doing this operation , Bengali individuals from military administrations were disarmed.Targets of the operation included Jagannath Hall which was a quarters for non-Muslim understudies of Dhaka University, Rajarbagh Police Lines, Pilkhana which is the base camp of East Pakistan Rifles.Hindu territories all over Bangladesh endured especially overwhelming

The genocide in Syria had begun in the early 2011. The Syrian president has cracked down, and started to do brutal things to the people. They used tanks, artillery, and attack helicopters against the protesters. On August 21, 2013, they started to use a new chemical weapon. The chemical weapon had killed over 1,400 people. The invoice of these chemical weapons has reached about 240,000. About 12 million men, women, and children were forced to flee from their homes, and houses.

"Among the genocides of mankind's history, the most elevated number of individuals killed in lower range of time is in Bangladesh in 1971. A normal of 6000 (six thousand) to 12 000 (twelve thousand) individuals were killed each and every day..........This is the most elevated day by day normal ever." The occupation armed force of Pakistan submitted this blessed represent an inexact time of 260 days (from the night of 25 March,1971 to their surrender on the sixteenth. December,

The Siege of Aleppo and aerial bombardment by Bashar’s allies are ‘excused’ by the stories of Isis’s actions – despite the fact Bashar has magnitudes more to account for. The horrors of the genocide and ethnic cleansing in Burma/Myanmar, and the deathly silence from the ‘international community’. The conflict in Yemen – where the oppression by one faction is replaced by oppression from another. The Muslim refugees entering Europe risking life and limb on dangerous seas; exploited by racketeers; blamed by politicians, despite the images of their dead and orphaned children.

Syrian civil war started in 2011 was the outcome of the opposition against the President Bashar al-Assad regime. The uprising emerged as a response to the Arab spring movement that lead to regime change in Tunisia and subsequently turned into mass unrest rooted into the discontent with long-term dictatorship and poor economic situation in the country (Manfreda, n.d.). The number of Syrian citizens killed in the civil war reached 140000 since March 2011 (SBS 2014). The European Commission (2014, 2) reports approximately 9.3 million civilians “in need for humanitarian assistance”. The scale of armed rebellion between government and opposition that lead to an increasing number of casualties among civilians did not remain unnoticed by the
