The war in Darfur, which has been controversially termed as
'genocide', is still ongoing, alongside a tardy peace negotiation
process, which began back in 2010. Around 300,000 people are
estimated to have died from the combined effects of war, hunger and
disease. Darfur is inhabited by tribes of both African and Arab
lineage. Both groups had co-existed for centuries, however, as a
result of the increasing desertification of the region in the 1970s
and 1980s, the nomadic Arab tribes began to head south in search of
water and grazing land. They soon arrived at the settle-ments of
the Africans. Skirmishes followed, though the fighting was small in
scale and ended in 1994. The conflict resumed in 2003, when African
rebel groups under the banner of the Darfur Liberation Front
responded to the neglect and marginalization of their communities
by initiating attacks. The Sudan government replied with major land
and air assaults. By the summer of 2003 the infamous Janjaweed had
become involved. By Spring 2004, they had killed several thousand
non-arabs and an estimated million more had been driven from their
homes. Yet it was not until more than 100,000 refugees, pursued by
Janjaweed militia, escaped to neighbouring Chad that the conflict
captured the attention of an international audience.
