This book examines the continuing devastation in the Darfur region
of Sudan, from the perspective of a multiplicity of conflicts of
distinct types. The crisis reached its peak in 2003-2004, when
certain Arab militias joined forces with the Sudan armed forces in
a campaign against insurgent resistance movements. Engulfed in the
tumult, Darfurians experienced systematic slaughter, sexual
violence, and internal displacement on a massive scale. Although
the violence has waned in recent years, the fighting continues to
this day. The authors cast this crisis as a complex web of four
distinct, yet interlacing, conflict types: long-standing disputes
between farmers and herders and between different herder
communities political struggles between the local elite leaders of
the resistance movements, and those between traditional leaders
(elders) and younger aspiring leaders long-standing grievances of
marginalized groups against those at the national centre of power
cross-border conflicts, primarily the proxy war waged between Chad
and Sudan The crisis in South Sudan is also examined through the
lens of conflict complementarity. This book will be of interest to
students of African politics, genocide, political violence, ethnic
conflict, war and conflict studies, peacebuilding and IR.
