The War in Darfur is a conflict or civil war centered on the Darfur region of Sudan. It began in February 2003 when the Sudan Liberation Movement Army and the Justice and Equality Movement groups in Darfur took up arms. Also Arab militias (Janjaweed) supported by the government soon began enacting policies of ethnic cleansing. Including starvation, forced displacement, murder, rape and torture against Darfur civilian population. Leaving hundreds and thousands of people dead and more than two million Expelled from their homes. its also said that genocide is worse then war because more people get killed in massive murdering due to genocide then people getting killed at war.
The arrival of African Union (A.U.) in Darfur failed to stop the violence and ensuing humanitarian crisis in the region. Men and boys killed, women and girls raped and abducted , and all means of agriculture production destroyed. Villages have had buildings burned, water sources poisoned, irrigation systems torn up, food and seed stocks destroyed, and fruit trees cut down. Cows have been looted and most of those not looted have died from lack of water and food. Darfur now faces the worst humanitarian crisis in the world, with 30,000 people already killed and more than a million internally displaced. International aid agencies proved that even if humanitarian relief arrives now, 350,000 people may still die. Although the Sudanese Government have committed to allowing a 26,00 strong peacekeeper force into the region they have continually showed their contempt for the people of Darfur. This proves a blatant disregard by the Sudanese Government of UN Security Council Resolution, which gives the community the responsibility to protect civilians from genocide when governments fail to do so.
