The Darfur/Chad and Sudan Conflict

By: Kaiya Caudill

The form the conflict takes:

There was a lot of violence taking place from kidnapping to basically murder.The U.S. Secretary of State finally named all of the conflicts "genocide".

Spatial extent of conflict:

The conflict has been in Darfur and it has also effected the rest of Sudan. Many of the people have left their homes and went to live in Chad.

How many and ways people have been affected:

Around 400,000 lives were claimed by the genocide in Darfur, 2,500,000 people became displaced, weather it was from disease and/or the conflict. People started to live in camps as well.

The displaced people in Sudan.

Location:

  • Sudan is in Northern Africa bordered by Ethiopia, Eritrea, Egypt, South Sudan, Central African Republic, Chad, and Libya .
  • Darfur is located in Sudan and bordered by Chad.
  • Chad is also in North Africa bordered by Sudan, Libya, Niger, Nigeria, Cameroon, and the Central African Republic.

Ongoing Tension:

  • Started in 2003
  • 2003-Janjaweed militias began havoc in Darfur burning down villages, kidnapping, and deaths as well as displaced people.
  • 2004- Refugee camps popped up, peace organizations were sent out, conflicts labeled as genocide.
  • 2005- Peace agreement was signed.
  • 2006- Another peace agreement was signed.
  • 2007- Arrest warrants sent out to involved leaders and a hybrid peace organization was started.
  • 2009- Sudan's president was arrested
  • 2010- cease fire was signed
  • 2012- South Sudan gained independence.
  • To be continued...

My opinion:

If I had to choose a side, I would choose the Darfur rebels because they are more worried about the people not being safe enough and the government didn't take it well. Instead of turning to violence they should discuss their sides and give their own opinions on ways to keep the people even more safe than what they are right now.

Root of conflict:

  • Sudan's government
  • Darfur rebels

Sudan

In 1989, Omar Bashir gained control over Sudan creating more regional tension. As they struggled for political control, weapons got into Darfur and conflicts began to increased between the African farmers and the nomadic Arab tribes. In 2003, two Darfuri rebel movements fought against the Sudanese government, arguing about the failure to protect people from attacks. The government responded by releasing the Janjaweed Sudanese forces and they invaded many villages in Darfur.
