| | The World's Greatest Humanitarian Crisis, Occurring Amidst Genocidal Destruction. An insurgency war against Khartoum's abusive governance in Darfur Province (far western Sudan) began in February 2003. The war had been long simmering because of the many and serious grievances held by the people of Darfur, especially the Africa tribal groups (most notably the Fur, Zaghawa, and Massaleit). The change in governance system for Darfur, effected by the National Islamic Front when it came to power by military coup in 1989, had exacerbated the sense of marginalisation long felt by the people Darfur. Lack of political power and a fair share of the national resources, a common theme throughout Sudan, have defined Darfur's fate for decades. |
