The document analyzes relationships between actors in Darfur from 2003 to 2009. It shows the central government had strong relationships providing financial support and weapons to rebels and hosting displaced persons. Meanwhile, its relationship with local communities was weak, allowing other actors like rebels, neighboring countries, and media to escalate the crisis by supporting rebels and exposing them through information and media. The conclusion is the weak relationship between the government and local community permitted other actors to intervene in a way that exacerbated the conflict.
