The Darfur Conflict began in 2003 in the Darfur region of Sudan, when rebel groups took up arms against the government, accusing it of neglect and discrimination. The government responded by supporting local militias, known as the Janjaweed, which led to widespread violence against civilians, including killings, rapes, and displacement. The conflict has resulted in a humanitarian crisis, with millions of people forced to flee their homes and seek refuge in camps. International efforts to mediate peace and provide aid have faced challenges, but the situation remains a significant concern for global human rights and humanitarian organizations.
