Somalia      Genocide Emergency for Somalia. Complex civil conflicts, along with devastating periods of drought over the past two decades have left the Republic of Somalia a failed state. The UNDP deems Somalia the world’s “worst humanitarian disaster.” Somalia’s instability has led to mass atrocities and human rights violations against the civilian population, being committed by all major parties involved in the conflict, especially by Al-Shabaab insurgents, Transitional Federal Government (TFG) forces, and intervening Ethiopian military forces. Therefore, Genocide Watch places Somalia at Stage 9 on the 10 Stages of Genocide and issues a Genocide and Mass Atrocities Alert.

In Ethiopia,          the government continues to restrict public space through systematic repression, detention and torture of political opponents including many from ethnic minorities. The controversial ‘villagisation' programme in Gambella has forcibly displaced tens of thousands of Anuak and Nuer, and violent repression continues against Somalis in the Ogaden, already hit by food insecurity.
Central African Republic      Seleka militias that began the killing when Michael Djotodia seized power have now been driven back by French and African Union forces.  Djotodia has fled.  Muslims are escaping to Chad, but are being pulled from vehicles by Christian anti-Balaka gangs.  Hundreds of thousands of people have been driven from their homes.  The shortage of adequate food, water, and shelter has created a humanitarian crisis. Peacekeeping forces must remain in the country until people can return to their homes, with security provided by a transitional government. 

Sudan and South Sudan        come from the series of conflicts escalating along the border areas between the two countries, constituting ‘a serious threat to international peace and security' according to a UN Security Council resolution adopted in May 2012. There have been repeated clashes between armies of the two countries, cross-border incursions and support to proxy militias. South Sudan now hosts more than 105,000 refugees from the Sudanese states of Blue Nile and Southern Kordofan, including those fleeing months of shelling by Sudanese government forces in the Nuba Mountains.

Myanmar: Rakhine   The Rohingya are a Muslim ethnic minority of one million people that has lived in Rakhine state for centuries, but they face systematic religious and ethnic discrimination there. The Rohingya are not a recognized ethnic minority and are, therefore, robbed of the rights inherent in citizenship. During 2012, violence increased against Rohingya and other Muslims in the Rakhine State, and the Pullitzer Center on Crisis Reporting said the Rohingyas have become one of the most oppressed ethnic groups in the world. Genocide Watch has issued an updated Genocide Emergency for the Rakhine State of Myanmar.

Myanmar: Kachin     Fighting in Myanmar’s Kachin state pits the Kachin Independence Army and its majority Christian population against the Burmese Buddhist government.  Ethnic Shan in Kachin State have also been displaced. In June 2011, a 17 year peace agreement was shattered and fighting between the KIA and Burmese government has been non-stop since. Human Rights Watch estimates that since the fighting began again, over 75,000 Kachin have been displaced, and attacks include raids on villages, rapes, and murders. A January 19, 2013 ceasefire agreement was broken by the government, and February 2013 peace talks were also unsuccessful at ending the violence. Genocide Watch has issued a Genocide Emergency for the Kachin State of Myanmar.

 Democratic Republic of the Congo       Estimates of the dead range from three to fivemillion persons. The victims are civilians, in particular women and girls, and ethnic groups such as the Banyamulenge, the Hutu Banyarwanda, the Hema and the Lendu. Many of the killers and rapists ar former genocidists who escaped into the DRC from the Rwandan genocide.Besides the high death rate among vulnerable civilian populations, especially children, and the number ofinternally displaced persons, there is the alarming trend of rape used as a weapon of war. Sexualviolence is aimed at terrorizing and controlling the population. A recent study estimates that nearly 2million women have been raped in the DRC, that is nearly one every minute. These atrocities, however,are not limited to women and girls. The fact that also men and boys are victims of rape is often nothighlighted. Moreover, sexual violence is not limited to rape. It includes crimes such as abduction andsexual slavery, forced maternity and sexual mutilation. Sexual violence causes traumas, diseases,rejection and stigmatization. These consequences are aggravated by feelings of hopelessness, shameand abandonment because of the impunity of the perpetrators.The rapes in the DRC constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity, targeting a civilian populationon a mass scale. Some of the acts of sexual violence can be qualified as genocidal acts, such as thosecommitted by the FDLR and the Mai Mai towards the Tutsi population. Sexual violence is the mosthocking human rights violation now occurring in the Eastern Congo.The situation in this extensive country located in the heart of Africa is highly explosive. This is evidenced

Nigeria: Boko Haram, Borno State     Boko Haram (literally translated as “Western Education is a Sin”) is a genocidal criminal movement led by an Islamist extremist, Abubakar Shekau, carry out terrorist attacks on Nigerian government police and government officials. It kidnapped over 200 girls from a Christian school in April 2014 and despite the Nigerian government’s efforts, none have been found. Last year, Boko Haram killed an estimated 2,000 people in its jihad to expand its self-declared Islamic caliphate in northern Nigeria, an area with a heavy Muslim population. On January 7th 2015, it killed 2,000 Nigerian civilians by burning down the town of Baga in the north-eastern state of Borno. While Boko Haram, which has sworn allegiance to the Islamic State, are actively learning from the tactics of it, allowing them their scope and level of brutality, it is now believed that Boko Haram controls up to six times more territory than the Islamic State. In addition, Boko Haram has spread the rule into a part of Cameroon, Niger, and Chad recently.

 Central African Republic         Genocide Watch has issued a Genocide Emergency for the Central African Republic. Continuing violence between Christian majority (anti-Balaka) and Muslim minority (Seleka) militias, has been genocidal because victims are targeted for their religious identity.  Seleka militias that began the killing when Michael Djotodia seized power have now been driven back by French and African Union forces.  Djotodia has fled.  Muslims are escaping to Chad, but are being pulled from vehicles by Christian anti-Balaka gangs.  Hundreds of thousands of people have been driven from their homes.  The shortage of adequate food, water, and shelter has created a humanitarian crisis. Peacekeeping forces must remain in the country until people can return to their homes, with security provided by a transitional government. 

    Nigeria           The insurgency of the radical Islamist movement Boko Haram in the north of Nigeria poses a great threatof genocidal massacres. Since the summer of 2011 Boko Haram has struck different targets in Nigeriaranging from government buildings, especially the security sector, to churches. The latter category ofattacks is alarming as they might radicalize relations between the Muslim north and the Christian south ofthe country.
Elsewhere on the continent, Libya, Mali and Egypt are among the significant risers in this year's internationally acclaimed global ranking Peoples Under Threat, which lists countries where communities are most at threat of mass killing, Minority Rights Group International (MRG) says.

Angola        went through a 27-year civil war which was primarily a struggle between two former liberation movements: MPLA and UNITA. Besides the struggle between these movements, a separatist struggle by the Front for the Liberation of the Enclave of Cabinda (FLEC) also played a role in the civil war. Cabinda is an Angolan province but it is separated from the country’s main

 African asylum seekers at the Holot detention facility protest the expulsion from Israel of others, February 17, 2014. Copyright: Eliyahu Hershkovitz/Haaertz I do not know the details this far … [but ] there is some package they [the Israelis] give them to leave, so we have been approached.” Rwandan President Paul Kagame says his country is finalizing what newspaper The East African calls a “multimillion dollar” deal to receive asylum seekers from Israel. Rwandan immigration officials are reportedly handling the talks.

 Israel said on Monday the drowning of hundreds of Africans off Libya’s coast was tragic but validated its own policy of having buffered its land barriers with Africa to keep migrants away.

Rwandan President Paul Kagame says his country is finalizing what newspaper The East African calls a “multimillion dollar” deal to receive asylum seekers from Israel. Rwandan immigration officials are reportedly handling the talks.“I do not know the details this far … [but ] there is some package they [the Israelis] give them to leave, so we have been approached.” Uganda and Israel was in place, asylum seekers were slowly entering the country. Look at how correct the (Israeli) government’s policy was to build a fence along the border with Egypt to block the way to labor migrants from Africa from reaching Israel, Israeli law grants automatic citizenship to Jews. The authorities have denied most Africans residency, shunning them as “infiltrators” seeking jobs rather than refuge. In addition to those held in a desert detention center, thousands have received temporary visas and live in crowded impoverished parts of Israel and its business hub of Tel Aviv. Israel reinforced a border fence with Egypt, its land bridge with Africa, in 2012, largely curtailing a flow of migrants that had been stealing into its midst for much of the past decade.
Since 2013 it has jailed hundreds of more than 40,000 African migrants, many of them having fled from troubled Eritrea and Sudan. Human rights groups charge this policy coerces many people eligible for refugee protection to seek repatriation at personal risk.
