Who is involved in the genocide in Sudan?
The Darfur Conflict is an ongoing guerrilla conflict or civil war centered on the Darfur region of Sudan. In 2003, two Darfuri rebel movements- the Sudan Liberation Army and the Justice and Equality Movement took up arms against the Sudanese government, complaining about the marginalization of the area and the failure to protect sedentary people from attacks by nomads. The government of Sudan responded by unleashing Arab militias known as Janjaweed, or "devils on horseback". Sudanese forces and Janjaweed militia attacked hundreds of villages throughout Darfur. Over 400 villages were completely destroyed and millions of civilians were forced to flee their homes.
Who were killed during the genocide of darfur?
The Darfur Conflict is an ongoing guerrilla conflict or civil war centered on the Darfur region of Sudan. With power centralized in the north around its capital Khartoum and natural resources concentrated in the South, Sudan is further divided by religion, ethnicity, tribal differences, and economic disparities. Lasting over two decades, the second civil war between the North and South resulted in the deaths of an estimated 2 million people and displaced 4 million others. An on-going conflict in the western region of Darfur was marked by a period of intensive, systematic targeting of the civilian populations from the Fur, Zaghawa, and Masaalit ethnic groups.
Why is there still conflict in South Sudan if the whole reason that South Sudan became independent was to escape violence perpetrated by the Sudanese governemnt?
The two conflicts are different and based in different issues.The primary conflict over the previous decades was between the Sudanese government in Khartoum, which espoused an Arab-Supremacist and Muslim-Supremacist Policy and the South Sudanese tribes which were Black African Christians. That conflict did indeed end with the independence of South Sudan. (The Darfur Conflict/Genocide, which was caused for the same Arab-Supremacist reasons, even though Darfurians are Muslims, continued because Darfur is not part of South Sudan.)The current conflict is a conflict between the two largest Black African tribal groups, the Dinka, who are the majority and represented by South Sudanese President Salva Kiir Mayardit, and the Nuer ethnic group. The Nuer feel that the Dinka-led government is working insufficiently to protect the property of the Nuer and so the Nuer are fighting for the preservation of their livelihoods. The Dinka-led government has attempted to protect Nuer rights, but has been attacked by the Nuer White Army in several incidents.

Darfur, which means land of the Fur, has faced many years of tension over land and grazing rights between the mostly nomadic Arabs, and farmers from the Fur, Massaleet and Zaghawa communities.
What is happening in Darfur Sudan right now?
There is a genocide, an enthnic cleansing if you will, still occurring in Darfur. Sparked from decades of famine, drought, and oppression it only gets worse as time goes on. With the rise of militia groups, the Sudanese government, in 2003, sent their own, well armed, well funded militia group to reek havoc in the area of Darfur.The Sudanese governments military is mainly funded by oil revenues, the countries major money maker. Over 70% of oil profits go to the military. This poses a problem to the people of Darfur, as the largest of these oil fields lies in South darfur, while the government is in the North. UN action has been rare as both China and Russia benefit from Sudanese oil, and both Russia and China are veto powers on the Security Council.450,000 people have been murdered, 2.5 million are hungry, and 4.5 are displaced.It is a crisis that is complicated, multi faceted, and complex.for more informatin, go to amnesty.org, i used this website while i wrote a research paper on the genocide in darfur. it's a great website!
What groups are involved in the Darfur conflict?
The region became the scene of a rebellion in 2003 against the Arab-dominated Sudanese government, with two local rebel groups - the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) and the Sudanese Liberation Army (SLA) - accusing the government of oppressing non-Arabs in favor of Arabs. The government was also accused of neglecting the Darfur region of Sudan. In response, the government mounted a campaign of aerial bombardment supporting ground attacks by an Arab militia, the Janjaweed. The government-supported Janjaweed were accused of committing major human rights violations, including mass killing, looting, and systematic rape of the non-Arab population of Darfur. They have frequently burned down whole villages, driving the surviving inhabitants to flee to refugee camps, mainly in Darfur and Chad; many of the camps in Darfur are surrounded by Janjaweed forces. By the summer of 2004, 50,000 to 80,000 people had been killed and at least a million had been driven from their homes, causing a major humanitarian crisis in the region.
