The eight stages of genocide (1996) are the steps that every genocide goes through. Gregory Stanton, who had studied the genocide in Cambodia for the American State Department, noticed this when he saw the genocide in Rwanda unfold in just the same way. He wrote up his findings shortly afterwards in 1996 and now, before our eyes, the genocide in Darfur is following the very same steps in the very same order:
- Classification: the division into us and them. This is extremely common in human society. While it is not a sign that genocide is on the way, genocide would be impossible without an us and a them.
- Symbolization: words or symbols are applied to the them: the yellow star that Jews had to wear under Hitler, skin colour, classifications put on ID cards. Again, this is common and is not a sign of genocide, but genocide cannot proceed unless there is some sure way to tell people apart.
- Dehumanization: the them become pariahs: they are seen as less than human, as animals or a kind of disease. The Tutsis in Rwanda were called cockroaches before they were killed by the thousands. Killing them was no longer murder – it was just ridding the country of something bad. Dehumanizing words, like “gook” and “nigger”, belong to this step. Unlike the first two steps, dehumanization is not common! It is the first sick step on the road to genocide.
- Organization: To kill people in large numbers you need organization: leaders, followers, a chain of command, duties, meetings, guns, training, hate speeches. Sometimes it is the government that does this, but often it is a paramilitary group that seems to be acting on its own (but which the government is either secretly helping or at least turning a blind eye towards). The killing might start at this stage, but not on a huge scale. Examples: the SS in Nazi Germany, the Ku Klux Klan in America, the janjaweed in Darfur.
- Polarization: The first people killed in any genocide are not the pariahs themselves but those in the mainstream who speak up for them. The voices in the middle are silenced through threats, arrests or even killings. Now the message of hate goes unchallenged.
- Preparation: the pariahs are often separated from the rest of the country – into ghettos, camps, reservations or some undesirable part of the country. Their property is taken from them (they are not coming back!). This step leaves them defenceless.
- Extermination: the mass killings, the genocide proper.
- Denial: The leaders of the genocide downplay it or tell complete lies and say there never was a genocide. As long as they are in denial the killings can go on.
America has gone through all eight steps with Native Americans, arguably up to step 6 with Japanese-Americans and at least as far as step 4 with blacks. Now you know why “nigger” is a bad word.
Stanton says that genocide is preventable by stopping it at one of the early stages.

Hello, I am a fan of this blog and I enjoy your posts very much… but I disagree with your assertation that the Darfur situation is a genocide. It is most certainly is not a genocide and that is a myth of the white American/pro-Israeli media. White America has not told the truth before, so why would it do so now?
I’m sure that must have confused you, that post, but here is a short article that will explain the Darfur situation: http://sudanwatch.blogspot.com/2006/05/strategic-victimhood-in-sudan-by-alan.html . And even if it were a genocide, the only individuals who could be accused of carrying out genocide, it is the (very black) Darfur Rebels who are killing other Darfuris for simply belonging to a tribe of their other Darfur Rebel enemy.
And there are no Arabs in Sudan except for the Rashaida and Hassaniya tribes! They are nomads the mix-raced Nubians don’t really respect… the mix-raced of Sudan, the half Nubian/ half Arab hold all the power.

The Arab League isn’t something to really take seriously for it is comprised of mostly dictators whom many were formerly backed by the American government. The Islamist Sudanese government which implemented Sharia in 1989 was actually once backed by the American government and could not have taken power in the first place without American assistance.

I’m not diverting the issue… I’m looking at it from a political perspective. The characterization of the massacres of Darfur as a genocide is dangerous. It gives the Darfur Rebels the upperhand (who might as well be a terrorist group)because it portrays them as heroes of the conflict… when in fact the situation of Darfur is truly bad (the government) vs. worse (the Darfur rebels).
The Darfur rebels say they are fighting against the racism the Darfuris suffer from in Arabic speaking Sudan (which is very much true), but they really just want to be the oppressors (to them, hopefully to the Arabic speaking regions of Sudan, but the Darfuris of their enemy tribes will do)and not the oppressed.
Whatever actions the Darfur Rebels do are clearly not helping the Darfuris because they initiated the fighting in the first place and the government responded with the infamous “Janjaweed”, taking a great toll on the Darfuris. And, to put the icing on the cake, they started killing their enemy within the Darfur Rebels’ tribes! So they are not only fighting the government, but fighting each other. All of it results in suffering Darfuris (who are famed to be the most peaceful within Sudan) and the destruction of much of whatever was Darfur’s infrastructure.
The more attention Darfur gets, the longer the fighting will continue because it gives the Darfur Rebels incentive, the Western attention. They hope that the West will give them power and help overthrow the government (which is worse because they are even more Islamist than the government). If Darfur was ignored, like most African conflicts are, the Darfur Rebels would have stopped fighting because they cannot go against the government without the West’s support, then causing the Janjaweed to hang up their Western weapons and go home.
Most of the attention Darfur recieves does not help the Darfuris! Look at how corrupt the Save Darfur scam is… none of that money helps the Darfuris, it goes to “raising awareness about Darfur.”
And, it is not absurd, America and Israel have a hand in the large media campaign for Darfur and clearly both are against Sudan, since America placed economic sanctions on Sudan and bombed Sudan in 1998 and Israel bombed eastern Sudan in January of this year. Save Darfur and the media attention Darfur recieves (which I already said, is crucial and dangerous), is mostly from the Israel lobby because the Israeli lobby to make Arabs look bad (whom the government aren’t, only half so).
But I am not blaming it only on the Darfur Rebels… the government’s response fueled the fighting even further and the fair skinned blacks of Arabic speaking Sudan must acknowledge its racism.
Darfur is a very messy conflict involving nationalism, Islamism, power, and oppression and the simplification and lie of it as Arabs vs. Africans (which are lies) is dangerous and also, somewhat racist, since the media has historically portrayed blacks as suffering children and Arabs as the evil camel riders at it’s leisure.

I was discussing Israel’s involvement in Darfur. Pro-Zionist institutions often meddle in other countries’ affairs and worsen them. It’s not “Sudanese” Arabs, it is just general Arabs (particularly of regions where there is war between America and/or Israel and Arabs) whom are being portrayed badly by how Darfur’s situation is being presented.
Darfur is an African issue, not an African/Arab issue as it is said to be. I am attempting to explain why it is shown as an African/Arab genocide and how it’s portrayal as such has dangerous implications (such as the Darfur conflict continuing on further than it would have and the possible arresting of Omar al-Bashir, Sudan’s leader, on the grounds of “genocide” by the ICC which would destabilize Sudan even further by creating a survival of the nastiest showdown for who will occupy al-Bashir’s former position, creating many oppurtunities for pandemonium, or worse, cause Hassan al-Turabi, a great admirer of the Ayatollah Khomeini if it gives you any indication of his political agenda, to ascend to power. He shares mutual support with the Darfur rebels, hoping that they weaken the Sudanese government, whom he helped put in power at first and then isolated himself from after Omar al-Bashir instead of he became dictator, enough so that he can ascend to power, and promising the far more intensely Islamist than the current government Darfur Rebels power in the Sudanese government. Can you not see how this threatens my country?).
It’s impossible for there to have been hundreds of thousands of deaths, as the WHO, a more legitimate organization than Save Darfur, theorize that 50-70,000 died in the conflict, most likely of which 60 – 75% died of drought and disease as the desertification of the area has made it hard for the Darfuris to accomplish even a little bit of agricultural success. So much of deaths supposedly due to the “Arab Janjaweed” are actually due to the effects of climate change.
In media concerning Darfur, it’s just “Arab Janjaweed” killing “black Darfuris”, when in reality, the Janjaweed is comprised of people from all over Sudan and, are often are pitch black, and have no racial agenda. The American government/Zionist lobby are manipulating the situation to help their own cause, which is to spoil the Middle Eastern Arabs’ image to justify what is happening to Iraq, Palestine, and Afghanistan (even though they’re not Arab) and divert attention from these conflicts.
Why else would countries with such power be “concerned” for what otherwise would have been perceived as “far away tribal killings”, as African conflicts are often characterized as?

Those websites are anti-Israel because Israel is a corrupt, murdering, racist police state, and they are attempting explain how its actions affect other countries.
I am fixated not on those two countries, but I am most certainly fixated (and grieved) about those two countries involvement in the Darfur issue.
I explained what these two nations have to do with Darfur. America and Israel are responsible for portraying the issue as it is and this portrayal has extremely negative effects on Darfur’s situation, like I’ve said before.
I feel your attitude exemplifies what many of have done. You diverted from my attempt to explain the (highly complex) political aspects of Darfur, and discussed it as a moral issue of “evil”. The media has done a successful job of portraying it as an issue of morality alone as opposed to an issue of complicated history and politics. The Save Darfur campaign portrays it as a simple moral issue and does not even give the money raised to Darfur, just to “raising awareness”, or truthfully, a media blitz. As Save Darfur has had much attention and aggressive media campaigns, clearly Save Darfur is attempting to send a message. A message that insinuates that Arabs are nasty and evil and Africans are weaklings. But, as these things are already stereotypes engravde in people’s minds, why would Save Darfur and Darfur’s media attention be attempting to engrave such even further by spreading lies about what is truly occuring? And what motive do they have portraying it as such?
This is where Israel and America come in. I explained what these two nations have to do with Darfur. America and Israel are responsible for portraying the issue as a genocide and this portrayal has extremely negative effects on Darfur’s situation.
The Darfur Rebels and America/Israel both benefit from why Darfur is portrayed this way and how much attention it gets. America/Israel benefits by diverting attention from the attrocities of Iraq, Palestine, and the Middle East in general, and by spoiling the Arabs’ credibility and image, justifying the attrocities in the Middle East region. I guess that can be, in a way, interpreted as “dehumanization” since it’s at least turning Middle Eastern Arabs into pariahs. The Darfur Rebels are benefiting, like I’ve said before, because building the government up as “Arabs” and themselves as suffering “Africans” benefits their cause because should the government weaken (which it seems like it will due to other nations’ reactions to the alleged genocide of Darfur), it gives they and their supporters (mainly Hassan al-Turabi) oppurtunities to ascend to power. The attention and support they recieve (one opened up an office in Israel!) gives them the incentive to continue fighting among themselves and the government and then presenting it to the Internation Community (which has somewhat isolated the current Sudanese government) as genocide.
And another way America has to do with Darfur is that America implemented the current Islamist Sudanese government in the first place, taking out the democracy that formerly existed! If the democracy have stayed, mostly the Darfur Rebels themselves would’t even had existed, leaving a conflict like this out of the question.
Darfur is an African issue which (two) other non- African countries are interfering with, making it then, I suppose, a not completely African issue.
I have condescended to explain what I have already explained and have presented the undeniable facts to you. You, like many, are “concerned” with the plight of the Darfuris, declaring it an issue of morality, and yet, are blindly faithful to the state of Israel, whom is responsible for more tragedies than Darfur ever had from direct conflict, so now, maybe I should question your motives.

The conversation had segwayed into an explanation of how the Darfur conflict is portrayed, why it is portrayed as such and why it’s portrayal have negative effects. Unfortuantely, Israel and America are heavily involved in that and I will not condescend to say for a third time how and why.
I am not propagandized to harbor animosity. Quite the contrary, I grew up in the U.S. and love many things about it, so to not support these institutions takes a bit of outside thinking.
I have no hatred for these two nations. I am explaining why their actions involving my country are wrong. If you interperet the stating of uncomfortable truths about powerful nations’ actions as “hatred”, so be it.
If there are other questions about Darfur, such as the Darfur Rebels’ and the government’s relations, former and current, or anything else, I would be most happy to discuss these issues.
