What are economic sanctions? How do they help the situation in Darfur?
Economic sanctions are economic restrictions, usually applied as a penal or retaliatory measure, that are implemented by one or group of countries upon another. They would help the situation in Darfur by preventing the government from continuing its operations that fund the ongoing genocide. Specifically, as the oil and energy sectors’ revenue has been funding the Janjaweed, targeted sanctions become critical.
