Darfur (Arabic: دار فور Dār Fūr, English: Realm of the Fur) is a region in western Sudan. It was firstly named Dardaju (Arabic: دار داجو) when the Daju, who migrated from Meroe c.350 AD, were ruling. Then renamed Dartunjur (Arabic: دار تنجر) when the Tunjur were ruling the country and who had been replaced by the Fur recent immigrants from Dar Fartit in the Central Africa. Darfur (Dar in the name means 'place of or land of' the Fur people) was a independent sultanate for several hundred years, incorporated into Sudan by Anglo-Egyptian forces in 1916. The region is divided into five federal states: Central Darfur, East Darfur, North Darfur, South Darfur and West Darfur. Because of the war in Darfur between Sudanese government forces and the indigenous population, the region has been in a state of humanitarian emergency since 2003.
Darfur covers an area of 493,180 square kilometers (190,420 sq mi), approximately the size of Spain. It is largely an arid plateau with the Marrah Mountains (Jebel Marra), a range of volcanic peaks rising up to 3,042 meters (9,980 ft) of topographic prominence, in the center of the region. The region's main towns are Al Fashir and Nyala.

The Devil Came on Horseback presents a first-person account of the genocide in Darfur. Former Marine Captain Brian Steidle joined the African Union in 2004 to help monitor the cease-fire in Sudan. As he puts it, All I had was a camera, a pen, and paper. I was totally unprepared for what I'd see. An unarmed military civilian, he describes his observations, via voice-over and audio recordings, as filmmakers Annie Sundberg and Ricki Stern alternate between their contemporary footage and his images of slaughtered civilians and incinerated villages. When his contract ends, Steidle leaves in disillusionment. He wrote his reports and took his pictures, but nothing changed. Since reporters lacked the same degree of access, he goes to The New York Times, and they publish his photographs. The sold...

The overview describes three of the significant "drivers" that explain what is going on in Darfur, but also show why decreasing the misery is so difficult. The three "drivers" are 1) ethnicity, 2) oil (mostly China, in the ongoing "scramble for Africa"), and 3) desertification/climate change. I hope this overview is helpful. Any informative comments are greatly ...
Attack On Darfur, which stars Billy Zane, Edward Furlong and Kristanna Loken, is the story of a group of Western journalists in Sudan who visit a small village to gather footage and interviews in hopes of reporting on the atrocities they have seen. When they hear that the Janjaweed are heading towards the village, they are confronted with the dilemma of whether to run for safety or to stay behind and attempt to avert the villages slaughter.

Between 200 to 250 people, many of them children, have been killed in at least 30 suspected chemical attacks in the Sudanese region of Darfur, according to a new report by global rights group Amnesty International. With the introduction of a deadly new weapon, the long-running 13-year conflict could be entering a dangerous new phase, the rights group warns. However, in an interview with Al Jazeera, Sudan’s Foreign Minister Ibrahim Ghandour has strongly denied the use of chemical weapons by the Sudanese government forces.

Sudan's military has called on civilians displaced by two weeks of fighting in Darfur's Jebel Marra, to return to their homes. They claim they have captured most of the area, believed to be a stronghold of the Sudan Liberation Army rebels, who have urged the international community to intervene and protect civilians. Tens of thousands of people are thought to have fled the area after clashes flared between insurgents and troops in mid-January. According to the army spokesman, security forces … READ MORE : http://www.africanews.com/2016/02/09/sudan-displaced-civilians-in-darfur-region-urged-to-return-home Africanews is a new pan-African media pioneering multilingual and independent news telling expertise in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Animals such as camels, cattle, goats and sheep are vital livelihood assets for many people in Darfur. To protect these assets, FAO conducts livestock vaccination and treatment campaigns in Sudan. This gallery includes images from the Jebel Marra mountain region in central Darfur. Insecurity including heavy fighting meant the area was cut-off from outside access for much of the last 10 years. Together with our implementing partners FAO has been able to help vulnerable pastoralist families at Jebel Marra and other locations in Darfur to protect their livestock assets. Credits: FAO RNE
Living in a world, based on indifference, and intolerance. Were believing lies claiming ignorance, and denying the facts like there wont be consequence. And as we turn our backs and we walk away. There's hundreds people dying every single day.
It makes me sad to think about, the thousands of kids forced kill without, a justifiable reason. Handed a gun and raped of all thought and decision. Brain washed and forced to fight, not for freedom and not for there lives. Murderers at the age of thirteen. Killing for there country, reasons so obscene. And still thousands fight and thousands die, and know one seems to be wondering why. But we do nothing, we do nothing. And there, killing for greed and power. Killing to kill them all. Killing for god. Genocide
