 Foreign Involvement With Darfur There are many countries that are involved with Darfur. Some major ones include:
 * The United States -The U.S government was the first government to call what was happening in Darfur a Genocide. the U.S. sent troops to protect the people in Darfur. the government wanted to take a lot of military action, however, no one wanted to get into another war, so they backed down. the U.S has three main goals in helping with Darfur. the first is to provide life saving humanitarian assistance. their second goal is to employ a strong peacekeeping force. and lastly they aim to promote a political settlement to the conflict.


 * China -China has been involved with Africa for more than five decades. China is Sudan's largest trading partner. most trading companies have stopped trading with Sudan because of many human rights organizations. however, china has not. China would lke to remain in peace with Sudan, while also trying to help with the conflict. China has been sending many materials to the people in Darfur, suck as, medical vehicles and equipment, tents generators, blankets, many schools and also building many wells to help them supply water.


 * Chad - The Darfur conflict has been involving the people in Chad, which does not make the Chad government very happy. Chad and Sudan have been in wars since 2003 over the Darfur issue. when the Darfur conflict first started many Sudan's fled across to Chad, causing Chad to close it's boarders and starting war.
