• Since early 2003, Sudanese government soldiers and their proxy militia, known as the Janjaweed, have fought rebel groups in the western region of Darfur • The government has responded by targeting the people who belong to the same ethnic groups as those of the rebel groups • Hundreds of thousands of civilians have died from violence, disease, and starvation, and thousands of women have been raped • People are forced from their houses and villages are burned • Those who can have fled to neighboring Chad, but many are stuck, displaced, in Darfur • Since 2005, the Government has stopped large scale attacks on civilians, but they are still in danger • There is an African Peacekeeping force trying to help the situation but they have been unsuccessful, soon they may join with the UN Information Sitation: http://www.ushmm.org/conscience/alert/darfur/contents/02-current/
