Oh thank you!!!
took the test, got it completely wrong...
It’s C and B
The factors that triggered the Darfur genocide include:
A) Sudan's colonial occupiers created an elite Sudanese class to control lower-ranked classes:
This factor is not directly related to the Darfur genocide. It might have contributed to the social and political structure in Sudan but is not seen as a direct trigger for the conflict in Darfur.
B) A bitter rift over enforcing Islamic law between Arab Muslims and non-Muslim Africans:
This factor played a significant role in the Darfur conflict. It involved tensions between Arab Muslims who wanted to impose Islamic law and non-Muslim Africans who resisted such imposition.
C) A drought led to migrations and a switch from farming to herding, increasing tensions:
This factor, although plausible, is not one of the commonly cited triggers for the Darfur genocide. While drought and resource scarcity certainly exacerbated the tensions in the region, it is not classified as a direct trigger.
D) Civil wars in nearby states spilled over into Darfur, killing civilians and providing military weapons:
This factor also played a significant role. The spillover from the civil wars in neighboring states led to violence in Darfur, resulting in civilian casualties and the availability of military weapons that further escalated the conflict.
Based on the given options, the correct factors that triggered the Darfur genocide are B) A bitter rift over enforcing Islamic law between Arab Muslims and non-Muslim Africans and D) Civil wars in nearby states spilled over into Darfur, killing civilians and providing military weapons.
