The Darfur conflict is a complex crisis in the Darfur region of
western Sudan. One side of the armed conflict is composed mainly of
the Sudanese military and the Janjaweed, a militia group recruited
mostly from the Arab Baggara tribes of the northern Rizeigat,
camel-herding nomads. The other side comprises a variety of rebel
groups, notably the Sudan Liberation Movement and the Justice and
Equality Movement, recruited primarily from the land-tilling Fur,
Zaghawa, and Massaleit ethnic groups. The Sudanese government,
while publicly denying that it supports the Janjaweed, has provided
money and assistance to the militia and has participated in joint
attacks targeting the tribes from which the rebels draw support.
The conflict began in February 2003. Unlike in the Second Sudanese
Civil War, which was fought between the primarily Muslim north and
Christian and Animist south, almost all of the combatants and
victims in Darfur are Muslim. The combination of decades of
drought, desertification, and overpopulation are among the causes
of the Darfur conflict, because the Baggara nomads searching for
water have to take their livestock further south, to land mainly
occupied by non-Arab farming communities.
