History

Historical Context

The Darfur Genocide began in 2003 when the Sudan Liberation Movement and Justice and Equality Movement rebelled against the Sudanese government, accusing it of ethnic cleansing against non-Arab communities. The government retaliated by arming the Janjaweed militia, leading to over 300,000 deaths and millions displaced. The ongoing violence by the Rapid Support Forces reflects these historical patterns of oppression, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in Sudan.
