There are three main ethnic groups - Arab, Black, and Fur people who are a mix. The Arab-led government favors Arab Muslims over non-Arab ethnic groups.

When Darfur rebels, the government arms the Janjaweed Arab herders to attack non-Arab farming villages, displacing hundreds of thousands of people. China supports the government to protect its oil interests in Sudan.
Darfur
The document summarizes the conflict in Darfur, Sudan. It began in 2003 as ethnic tensions rose between Arab groups favored by the government and non-Arab black African groups. Over 2 million people have been displaced and as many as 400,000 lives have been lost as government forces and Janjaweed Arab militias target civilian villages. Despite actions by the UN and African Union, the humanitarian crisis continues due to a lack of political will from the international community to address the root causes of the conflict.
Darfur Case Study
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.

Over 200,000 people have been killed so far and over 1.5 million displaced from their homes as the government and Janjaweed use scorched earth tactics, causing starvation, disease and violence. The UN and US provide most of the humanitarian aid but more action is still needed to address the ongoing crisis.
Sudan powerpoint
Sudan is located in Northern Africa, bordering Egypt and Eritrea. It has a population of over 45 million people, with ethnic and religious diversity. Sudan has experienced prolonged civil wars and conflict in Darfur has displaced over 2 million people since 2003. The ongoing conflict in Darfur is between the government and rebel groups, and involves government-backed Janjaweed militias carrying out attacks against civilian populations. As a result, there are over 5 million internally displaced people living in refugee camps with lack of basic necessities and ongoing insecurity and human rights abuses.
Darfur Holocaust
The document discusses two cases of genocide: the Holocaust and the ongoing genocide in Darfur, Sudan. It notes that both involved the systematic killing and displacement of large groups of civilians by their own governments and armed militias. While the methods and death tolls differed, in both cases extremist groups targeted populations for destruction and needed help from others to carry out mass murder. The document questions what more can be done to seek justice for victims and prevent future genocides when the world fails to intervene to stop such atrocities.

South Sudan: A young country divided by civil war
South Sudan, the country that gained independence in 2011 with huge international fanfare and support came apart in just one week.

The displaced populations face overcrowding and lack of resources in refugee camps in Chad, increasing tensions between the nations and risk of worsening conditions and conflict.
forced migration
FMO has adopted the definition of ‘forced migration’ promoted by the International Association for the Study of Forced Migration (IASFM) which describes it as ‘a general term that refers to the movements of refugees and internally displaced people (those displaced by conflicts) as well as people displaced by natural or environmental disasters, chemical or nuclear disasters, famine, or development projects.’ FMO views forced migration as a complex, wide-ranging and pervasive set of phenomena. The study of forced migration is multidisciplinary, international, and multisectoral, incorporating academic, practitioner, agency and local perspectives. FMO focuses on three separate, although sometimes simultaneous and inter-related, types of forced migration. These three types are categorized according to their causal factors: conflict, development policies and projects, and disasters.
Forced migration
Forced migration has accompanied persecution, as well as war, throughout human history but has only become a topic of serious study and discussion relatively recently. This increased attention is the result of greater ease of travel, allowing displaced persons to flee to nations far removed from their homes, the creation of an international legal structure of human rights, and the realizations that the destabilizing effects of forced migration, especially in parts of Africa, the Middle East, south and central Asia, ripple out well beyond the immediate region.

This document summarizes the ethnic conflict in Darfur, Sudan that began in 2003. It describes the ethnic groups in Sudan and how northern Arabs discriminated against and marginalized southern African groups. Tensions increased when nomadic Arabs tried to seize lands from the Fur people. Two rebel groups formed to oppose the Arab-dominated government, and the government armed Arab militias called the Janjaweed to attack African villages. The document also compares Singapore's ethnic situation to Darfur and considers possible problems that could arise in Singapore by 2061 if prejudice and discrimination are not addressed, such as social disorders, economic crisis, and the government losing citizens' trust. It proposes solutions like help from the UN, neighboring countries, curfews

The document discusses the ongoing conflict and genocide in Darfur, Sudan. It describes the casualties of over 400,000 dead and 2.5 million displaced from their homes since 2003. It also outlines the main perpetrators of the violence as the Sudanese military and Janjaweed militias funded by the Sudanese government. The document then notes that despite five years having passed, the genocide continues due to a lack of action and commitment from the international community, including the United States, United Nations, and China. It attributes this inaction to competing priorities like Iraq, lack of media coverage, and public indifference and misconceptions about the situation.
Darfur by Kyle
Darfur is located in western-south Sudan and has experienced genocide since 2003, where over 400,000 civilians have been killed by government-backed militia groups called the janjaweed. The ongoing conflict was sparked by oil discoveries in southern Sudan, but the north controls the port access needed to export oil and attacks the south. A proposed solution is for other countries to pressure the north by withholding oil revenue until they agree to share power and wealth with the south and end attacks in Darfur.

The document summarizes the ongoing genocide in the Darfur region of Sudan. Arab herders and African farmers who live in Darfur do not coexist peacefully. Radical militias hired by the African farmers have been exterminating the Arab herders, killing everyone in villages, including men, women, and children. Estimates suggest between 20,000 to 700,000 people have been killed so far. The government supports the militias despite restricting media coverage of the violence and genocide. The United Nations is struggling to provide enough food and clean water to the over 5 million people displaced by the ongoing conflict.

Darfur/Dafur Photo Exhibit Proposal - SPAIN (2008)
I contacted Leslie Thomas about her Darfur Darfur Photo Exhibit because I wanted to bring it to Spain. In order to do so, I wrote this project proposal in English and in Spanish. This was circulated to a lot of organizations throughout Spain. My initial idea was to have multiple cities show this exhibit within a similar time-frame; like throughout a month period or so. However, because the investment to show this exhibit was between $15,000-30,000 it was difficult to find organizations interested in supporting this project. Luckily, with the help of ACNUR, the Photo exhibit was shown in three different cities in Spain (Valencia, Madrid, and Bilbao).

Africa
Climate and geography have significantly impacted African society. The continent has extensive deserts like the Sahara which cover most of the land area. Environmental challenges like desertification and lack of arable land have caused groups like the Bantu to migrate within Africa over thousands of years in search of resources. The geography, which includes the Great Rift Valley and grassy savannas, has also influenced where human settlements could be sustained through farming and herding. More recently, European colonialism disrupted many African societies and drew boundaries without regard for ethnic groups, contributing to ongoing conflicts over land and resources.

Climate and geography have significantly impacted African society. The continent has extensive deserts like the Sahara which cover most of the land area. Environmental challenges like desertification and lack of arable land have caused groups like the Bantu to migrate within Africa over thousands of years in search of resources. The geography has also influenced patterns of human settlement, with many people living in the savanna grasslands and around lakes and rivers. European colonialism in the late 19th century was driven by needs for raw materials and new markets from Africa. This led to divisions of ethnic groups and conflicts over borders that remain challenges today.
