What is your saying something going to do to stop the genocide? Are you saying anything about the genocides happening elsewhere? If not, why not?  
  
"Based on available information up to this date (3/10/25), here’s an overview of situations where genocide has been alleged, declared, or is under serious consideration by credible sources:  
  
Sudan (Darfur, 2023–Present)     
The U.S. State Department declared on January 7, 2025, that the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and allied militias are committing genocide against non-Arab ethnic groups, particularly the Masalit, in Darfur during the ongoing civil war (started April 2023). Estimates suggest tens of thousands have died (up to 150,000 per some U.S. figures), with ethnic targeting well-documented by Human Rights Watch and UN reports. This builds on the earlier Darfur genocide (2003–present), where 200,000–400,000 died, though the current phase is treated as a distinct episode.  
  
 Myanmar (Rohingya, 2017–Present)     
The Myanmar military’s campaign against the Rohingya, peaking in 2017, has been widely labeled genocide by the UN, U.S. (in 2022), and human rights groups. Over 730,000 fled to Bangladesh, and thousands were killed. While the most intense violence subsided, sporadic attacks and policies of exclusion persist into 2025, with some arguing the genocidal process continues at a lower intensity.  
  
 China (Uyghurs, 2014–Present)     
The Chinese government’s actions against Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities in Xinjiang—mass internment (over 1 million), forced sterilization, and cultural erasure—have been called genocide by the U.S. (2021), Canada, and several NGOs. Critics debate whether it meets the UN definition due to limited direct killing (thousands reported dead in camps), but the intent to destroy the group’s identity keeps this active in discussions as of 2025.  
   
Israel/Gaza (2023–Present)     
Amnesty International concluded in December 2024 that Israel’s actions in Gaza following the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack constitute genocide, citing over 44,000 deaths (per Gaza Health Ministry), widespread destruction, and statements from Israeli officials suggesting intent. The U.S. and some allies reject this label, arguing it’s a military response to Hamas, not a genocidal campaign against Palestinians as a group. The International Court of Justice is investigating, but no final ruling exists as of now.  
   
Ethiopia (Tigray, 2020–Present)     
The Lemkin Institute issued an Active Genocide Alert for Tigray, citing mass killings, sexual violence, and starvation tactics by Ethiopian and Eritrean forces during the 2020–2022 war and its aftermath. Estimates range from 50,000 to 600,000 deaths. While a 2022 peace deal reduced violence, sporadic atrocities continue, and some argue the genocidal intent persists into 2025.  
   
Other Potential Cases  
South Sudan (Dinka-Nuer Conflict, 2013–Present): Ethnic violence has killed tens of thousands, with the UK once labeling it genocide. However, it’s more often classified as ethnic cleansing or war crimes, lacking clear evidence of genocidal intent in 2025.  
   
Central African Republic (Anti-Balaka vs. Seleka, 2013–Present): The UN has warned of rising ethnic cleansing in 2024–2025, with thousands killed, but it’s not yet widely recognized as genocide.  
   
Democratic Republic of Congo (Eastern Conflicts): Massacres by armed groups have killed thousands, but these are typically seen as part of a broader war, not genocide, as of 2025."
