1.  List the countries that border Sudan.  (For a map, go to WorldAtlas.com.)

2.  Who is Kofi Annan?  Why does he want to send troops to Darfur, Sudan? 

3.  Define "genocide."  The U.N. has still not labeled the murders in Darfur as genocide.  Why do you think they have not done so?

4.  What requests will the U.N. make of its member countries regarding Sudan?

5.  What is the A.U.?  What is it attempting to do in Darfur?  In what three ways has the U.S. assisted the A.U. mission thus far?

6.  Two of the reasons that some have for wanting U.S. troops to stay out of Darfur are:
-it is not a good idea to send troops from Western countries into a country ruled by an Islamist regime
-if U.S. soldiers took part in a peacekeeping mission in Sudan and were accused of crimes, they could go before the International Criminal Court (ICC)
a.  What types of cases was the ICC set up to deal with?
b.  Why was the U.S. opposed to the creation of the ICC?
c.  What did the U.S. government do to protect Americans from the ICC?
