History

Historical Context

The Darfur Conflict erupted in 2003 when the Sudan Liberation Movement and Justice and Equality Movement attacked the Sudanese government, accusing it of oppression. The government's brutal counterinsurgency, involving the Janjaweed militia, led to over 300,000 deaths and millions displaced. Today, ongoing humanitarian crises in regions like Gaza and El-Fasher underscore the urgent need for consistent international intervention in such conflicts.
