History of Conflict in Darfur
Darfur has been embroiled in a deadly conflict for over three years. At least 200,000 people have been killed; more than 2 million innocent civilians have been forced to flee their homes and now live in displaced-persons camps in Sudan or in refugee camps in neighboring Chad; and more than 3.5 million men, women, and children are completely reliant on international aid for survival.
