History

Historical Context

The Darfur conflict erupted in 2003 when the Sudan Liberation Movement and Justice and Equality Movement attacked government forces, accusing them of oppression. The Sudanese government retaliated by arming the Janjaweed militia, leading to widespread atrocities, including an estimated 300,000 deaths and millions displaced. Recent reports of violence by the Rapid Support Forces echo these past horrors, underscoring ongoing instability in Sudan.
