REFLECTION...

The war in DARFUR – 2003-2007 and ongoing

The war in Darfur is a CIVIL WAR in the west of Sudan.

Using the card in front of you OUTLINE the war in Darfur by placing the cards into chronological order.

Drought causes African tribes to move in search

of water and grazing land

African Tribes move onto land

already owned by people in Darfur, who used it for their own food and also money

crops.

The people of Darfur ask the

Government for protection from these tribes and

protection for their land.

The Government fails to help

This causes the people of Darfur to rebel against the Government and their unfair

treatment.

In Sudan there is a big divide...

The north Arab

Light skinnedMuslim

The southNon-Arab

BlackChristian

The people or Darfur believed that the Government did not help them because they favour Arabs over non-Arabs and so they set up rebel groups

(The Sudan Liberation Army and The Justice and Equality movement) to protest against the unfair treatment.

These rebel protest groups attacked the Sudan Government troops.

The Government’s response is BRUTAL – innocent civilians who had nothing to do with the rebels

were punished.

The Government add to their already large army (which

is all Arab).This army is named

the JANJAWEED.

The JANJAWEED are meant to fight the rebel forces but

instead punish the innocent.• They wipe out entire

villages.• They destroy food and water

supplies to villages.• They murder, rape and

tortured hundreds of thousands of innocent

civilians.

The believe that they are ethnically cleansing Sudan.

These attacks occur with the direct support of the

Government of Sudan’s armed forces.

400,000 CONFIRMED dead

2.5 million displaced(forced to leave their homes)

Thousands of women RAPED

Thousands of men, women and children tortured

Years of drought and increasing desertification have meant that food and water resources have

become scarce.People forced to move south on to other peoples

farmland who are also struggling to survive.Farmers who own land are growing cash crops,

reducing the land available to grow foodHow is this be a contributing factor to

the war in Darfur?

Both sides have long-standing disputes and traditional hatred for each other.

How is this be a contributing factor to the war in Darfur?

Long standing ethnic hatred

National PrideThe conflict in Darfur is part of a wider conflict in Sudan

Some parts of anti- government forces (e.g. Sudan liberation movement) want the south of Sudan to become

an independent country and rule themselves.The government are opposed to this and want Sudan to

remain as one country.How is this be a contributing factor to the

war in Darfur?

Darfur is incredibly remote with poor transport links and communications

happening and to try and do something about it.
