DARFUR

How

-Civil War leaves Darfur underdeveloped and marginalized at the federal level, lacking infrastructure and development assistance

- Neglect, combined with allegations that the government was arming Arab tribesmen (Janjaweed) to raid non-Arab villages, was cited as the justification for a February 2003 rebel attack on a Sudanese Air Force Base at El Fasher

Attacks on Darfuri villages commonly begin with Sudanese Air Force bombings

Air campaigns are often followed by Janjaweed militia raids

All remaining village men, women, and children are either murdered or forced to flee. Looting, burning food stocks, enslaving and raping women and children, and stealing livestock are common.

Dead bodies are tossed in wells to contaminate water supplies and entire villages are burned to the ground.
