Have you ever heard of Darfur? Darfur is a large region in Sudan. Some time in February of 2003 a conflict erupted between the region of Darfur and Sudan when SLM and JEM rebel groups began fighting the Sudan government, which they accused of oppressing Darfur’s non-Arab population. Darfur experienced a terrible genocide from 2003 to 2010. A genocide is the intentional action to systematically eliminate an ethnic, national, racial, or religious group. The world contains many “genos”; races, ethnicities, nationalities, religious groups. Darfur’s official language is Arabic. As of 2008 its population is 7,500,000 (seven million five hundred thousand). Darfur covers an area of 493, 180 square kilometers, approximately the size of Spain. Darfur
