Children are being abandoned. Rebellion broke out in 2003, Since then, there has been a lot of violence. 20,000 people have died, 2.5 million were driven from their homes. People from the United States are trying to help the people in Darfur by providing medical things and other stuff.

People in Darfur have had enough, they are tired of the things that are happening.

Sudan’s government and the pro-government Arab militias are accused of war crimes against the region’s black African population, although the UN has stopped short of calling it genocide.

Darfur, which means land of the Fur, has faced many years of tension over land and grazing rights between the mostly nomadic Arabs, and farmers from the Fur, Massaleet and Zagawa communities.

The leader of one SLA faction, Minni Minawi, who signed a peace deal in 2006 after long-running talks in Nigeria, was given a large budget, but his fighters have already been accused by Amnesty International of abuses against people in areas opposed to the peace deal.
