"Darfur is a region in Sudan the size of France. It is home to about 6 million people from nearly 100 tribes. Some nomads. Some farmers. All Muslims. In 1989, General Omar Bashir took control of Sudan by military coup, which then allowed The National Islamic Front government to inflame regional tensions. In a struggle for political control of the area, weapons poured into Darfur. Conflicts increased between African farmers and many nomadic Arab tribes (United Human Rights)."
Over 600,000 have been killed since the conflict. Another 2.5 million have been displaced. Over three millions lives have been horriably effected by this genocide. Religion is the last thing that should be causeing people to be acting in such a horid manner.
