JEM (Justice and Equality Movement)

The Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) is a Sudanese rebel group founded in 2001 that aims to address issues of social justice, political power, and economic inequality in Sudan, particularly in Darfur. It opposes the Sudanese government's policies, which it views as oppressive, and seeks greater autonomy and rights for marginalized populations. JEM primarily employs military action and diplomacy to advance its goals. The movement has played a significant role in the ongoing conflict in Darfur, advocating for peace, justice, and equal treatment for affected communities.
