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

fail 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 Governments 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 woman RAPED

Thousands of men, women and children tortured

Now for each cause EXPLAIN how it contributed to

starting/sustaining the war in DARFUR.

Case study: Darfur 2003 - 2007 and ongoing

What were the causes?

ECONOMICYears 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?

Long standing ethnic hatred

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

They are divided ethnically and religiously

The government has been accused of favouring Arabs over non- Arabs

(persecuting non-Arabs)

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

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.
