Ethnic conflict in Darfur led to an attempt to destroy a whole group of people, a situation known as?
A. ethnocentrism
B. Apartheid
C.nationalism
D.genocide
genocide is correct
yeah genocide is the correct answer
The correct answer is D. genocide.
Genocide is the deliberate and systematic destruction, in whole or in part, of an ethnic, racial, religious, or national group. In the case of Darfur, an ethnic conflict escalated into a genocidal campaign against the Fur, Masalit, and Zaghawa tribes by the Sudanese government-backed Arab militias known as the Janjaweed. The conflict in Darfur resulted in widespread violence, mass killings, displacement, and other atrocities targeted at these specific ethnic groups.
To arrive at this answer, you should consider the context of the situation in Darfur and the specific definitions of the answer choices.
A. Ethnocentrism: This is the belief in the inherent superiority of one's own ethnic group or culture. While ethnocentrism can contribute to conflict and prejudice, it does not involve the systematic attempt to destroy a group of people.
B. Apartheid: Apartheid refers to a system of racial segregation and discrimination that was practiced in South Africa. While it involved the oppression and marginalization of non-white racial groups, it does not encompass the systematic attempt to destroy a whole group of people as seen in the case of Darfur.
C. Nationalism: Nationalism is the sentiment or ideology that promotes the interests and identity of a particular nation. Though nationalism can contribute to inter-ethnic tensions and conflicts, it does not necessarily entail the attempt to annihilate a particular group of people.
D. Genocide: This answer choice accurately describes the situation in Darfur, where the conflict involved a deliberate and systematic attempt to destroy specific ethnic groups.
By considering the definitions of these terms and the specific details of the ethnic conflict in Darfur, you can determine that the answer is D. genocide.
