Darfur, western Sudan
Traduction non disponible · Original (anglais) · français indisponible
The Darfur Conflict began in February 2003 when rebels in western Sudan rose against the government, claiming neglect by Khartoum. Government military operations, rebel resistance, Janjaweed militia violence, mass displacement, and international intervention followed. By 2009, the conflict remained unresolved, with continuing disputes over political power, wealth, and accountability for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Le récit
The source dates the Darfur uprising to February 2003, when rebels in western Sudan challenged the government and argued that the region was being neglected by Khartoum. The conflict developed within a wider pattern of regional inequality, political centralization, environmental pressure, and competition over resources. Darfur became one of the most severe humanitarian crises described in the survey.
In 2004, the army moved to suppress the rebellion, while hundreds of thousands of refugees fled across the border into Chad. A United Nations official stated that pro-government Arab Janjaweed militias were conducting planned killings of African villagers. The source also connects the conflict with rape, widespread human suffering, and the displacement of large populations.
International involvement expanded through African Union and United Nations peacekeeping efforts. In 2008, the International Criminal Court’s prosecutor sought the arrest of President Omar al-Bashir for genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes; an arrest warrant followed in 2009 for war crimes and crimes against humanity. The conflict nevertheless continued, as major rebel groups rejected an immediate ceasefire without power and wealth sharing.
