Explanation:

The UN did not describe the conflict in the Darfur Region as a genocide because the explicit instructions given to the military units by the Sudanese government appointed to eliminate the rebels, but they did not specify that a specific ethnicity has to be attacked. Anyway, even tough it has not been explicit the UN admits that quite possibly the attacks were intentionally performed against certain sectors of the civilian population.

In any case, the UN acknowledges the seriousness of the crimes committed, considered to be crimes against humanity, but states that the term genocide cannot not be used until each case is investigated and analyzed individually by judicial procedures.

The correct answer is: “Because the Sudanese government focused on rebels in general, not a specific ethnic group.”

Here is textual evidence from the study: The UN commission gave its reason: It decided that the Sudanese government’s intention was not to kill all non-Arab Sudanese peoples in Darfur but to stop the rebels.”
