What is the Conflict?
The Darfur conflict began on February 26, 2003. It is an ongoing war that is in the Darfur region of Sudan. It began when the Sudan Liberation Movement/Army accused the Sudanese Government for committing genocide (killing a mass amount of humans) towards Africans in favor of the Arabs.What is the UN Doing About This?
The UN has estimated that 200,000 people have died in Darfur since 2003. Groups have been killing innocent civilians and raping women and girls. This disgusting behavior still exists, because of this urgent action is a must. The UN is working on finding a political solution, but as of now the UN has the biggest aid camps in the world in Darfur. They also have refugee camps set up in Chad and the Central African Republic. The African Union and the UN designed a Darfur Peace Agreement on May 5, 2006. This is an agreement that plans peace for innocent civilians in Darfur.
