The ongoing conflict in Darfur began in 2003 and has resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths and millions of displaced people. The government has supported Arab militias like the Janjaweed in fighting rebel groups, resulting in accusations of genocide. International organizations have attempted to negotiate peace while also pushing for prosecution of officials for war crimes, though violence continues. In 2008, the president declared a ceasefire after coming under pressure from arrest warrants, but stability has yet to be achieved.
