War in Darfur
The
War in Darfur
is a major armed conflict in the
Darfur
region of
Sudan
, that began in February 2003 when the
Sudan Liberation Movement
(SLM) and
Justice and Equality Movement
(JEM) rebel groups began fighting the
government of Sudan
, which they accused of oppressing Darfur's non-
Arab
population. The government responded to attacks by carrying out a campaign of
ethnic cleansing
against Darfur's non-Arabs. This resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians and the indictment of Sudan's president
Omar al-Bashir
for
genocide
and
crimes against humanity
by the
International Criminal Court
.
