Crisis in Sudan
Violence began in the Dafur region of Sudan more than 16 months ago when two rebel groups from African tribes took up arms in a struggle over land and resources with Arab countrymen. Arab militias known as Janjaweed then began a brutal campaign to drive out the black Africans. Over a million Sudanese have been forced from their homes and thousands have died. Some international groups have called the conflict genocide.
