Darfur genocide vs Darfur cultural genocide
An important distinction
There is a difference between Genocide and cultural Genocide, which will be explained clearly. “Cultural genocide is the much-maligned and oft-forgotten companion of the simply-termed concept of "genocide." Unlike genocide-a word used to characterize horrors such as the killings in the former Yugoslavia, Rwanda, and, controversially, Darfur-cultural genocide does not require the killing of a single person.” (Hon, 2013, p.1)
This affirmation leads to people thinking that the conflict in Darfur was Genocide, and others think it is not one. The ones that think it is not Genocide believe so, because people surviving to a war and several crimes were not enough violent and intense for it to consider as Genocide. (Nathan, 2014, p.25)

In the 1930s, Lemkin is a Polish Jew who colonized in the United States and had a plan for the Darfur genocide. The goal to plan such genocide is to stop integrating culture, as well as other institutions like political, economical and social. The plan wants to end the security of each individual, their liberty, their health and dignity. Lemkin desires to abolish the identity of groups such as their nation, their own language and their culture. (Udombana, 2014, p.56)
