Darfur is one of the regions of the biggest African country, Sudan which attained its independence in 1956 from Egypt and the UK. Located in the war-torn region of Africa, and bordered by Chad, Egypt, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Kenya, and Uganda (UCDP, p. 105). These neighboring states have at least experienced one form of conflict, either interstate or intrastate in the last half of the century (106). With an estimated population of bout 37 million, a completely heterogeneous state in terms of religion, ethnicity, and language, Sudan has experienced some of the longest conflicts in African and world history (Flint, p. 142). The north that is comprised of the Darfur region is Muslim Arab dominated, while the south is predominantly Christian with both regions having multiple ethnic groups (p. 144). The Khartoum government is dominated by the Northern region elites, who have traditionally fought for power, creating a series of wars and conflicts with unstable governments which are never in control of the entire vast nation (de Waal, p. 20). The few elites at the center of the nation are extremely wealthy, in contrast to the exceedingly poor marginalized regions at the far-flung corners of the nation, comprising Darfur. Sudan has suffered numerous domestic conflicts and many one-sided conflicts that are basically supported by the government either directly or indirectly (US Department of State). In an effort to contain the rebellions, the Khartoum Governments have over the years funded the militias to fight off the rebels (Human Rights Watch 2002). The militias have been responsible for several gross violations of human rights both Darfur and the south. Darfur, located in the Western region of Sudan, has a population estimated to be 6 million (US Department of State, 2004). The present conflict in Darfur began in the year 2003 when the Sudan Liberation Movement /Army (SLM/A) and the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) disagreed with the Government of Sudan (Azzain, p. 7). Even though observers concur that communal conflicts have existed in this region for decades, the communities living in Darfur also complain that the central government based in Khartoum has also stayed for so long that they need a change (Varshney, p. 309). The rebellion and the response from the government’s backed ethnic militias in 2003 have brought the defining moments for the Darfurians’ lives. The rebels have been fighting for the resources that they claim the successive central governments have been harvesting yet have decided to marginalize them at the expense of their Arab counterparts (310). The Khartoum governments have been arming Arab militias to execute atrocities, genocide, in an effort to contain the rebels. However, according to Human Rights Watch report (2002), the war in Darfur is more complex than what people see at phase value. The report elaborates the division between the ethnic groups of Darfurians, where the dominant Fur ethnic group and other African ethnic groups comprised of Zaghawa and Masalit combining forces to form groups of rebels fighting the central government dominated by the Arabs. In this region, it is an issue being an Arab or an African, with such an identity classi
