Darfur conflict

The Darfur conflict, which began in 2003 in the western region of Sudan, involves violent clashes between government forces and various rebel groups. The Sudanese government is accused of supporting militia groups known as Janjaweed, who have targeted non-Arab ethnic communities, leading to widespread displacement, deaths, and humanitarian crises. The conflict is rooted in ethnic tensions and competition for resources like land and water, exacerbated by climate change. International efforts to address the situation have included peace agreements and humanitarian aid, but the region remains unstable and violence continues.
