Conflict and Instability in the Darfur Western Region of Sudan

Abstract

My intention of writing this paper is to address the root causes of the civil war that is going on in the Darfur region of Western Sudan and how is affecting Chad. In addition, I will explore the issues related to the genocide and crime against humanity that continuously committed by Sudanese Government Security Forces and its Arab Janjaweed Militias. Furthermore, I will tend to elaborate on the failures of African Union and the United Nation's peacekeeping Mission. I also discuss rebel groups experiencing leadership difficulty and splitting into more factions continually failed to face the government forces. Furthermore, elaborate on the destruction on the civilian population and refugees in Chad. Lastly, I explain how Sudan people in general, and Darfur in particular, suffer from Khartoum regime.
