How was the darfur genocide carried out?

Leaders in Darfur firstly was asking for autonomy and full control of their economy (having in mind abundance of gas and petroleum). This was not approved by Sudanese Govt. Years passed and at point Darfurians organized themselves and demanded freedom for their territory. Sudan at all not liked it. Started arresting and harrousment. Darfurians revolted, took some arms in their own hand. Then Sudanese Govt (President Umr Al Bashar), created and sponsored Janjaweed Militia. In 2003, having the support with arms and money the Janjaweed (also backed by Sudanese Army) launched attacks to kill the people indiscremenantly. This is the beginning of mass killing, diplacement of ordinary people, burning, raping..and more. This is genocide!

Why did genocide in darfur happen?

The genocide in Darfur, which began in 2003, was primarily fueled by ethnic tensions and competition for resources between predominantly Arab militia groups, known as Janjaweed, and non-Arab ethnic communities. The Sudanese government supported the Janjaweed in a campaign to suppress a rebellion against its rule, leading to widespread atrocities, including mass killings, sexual violence, and displacement. The conflict was exacerbated by long-standing issues such as poverty, drought, and land disputes, which intensified the grievances of marginalized groups against the central government. Ultimately, the genocide was a result of a complex interplay of political, ethnic, and economic factors.
