The conflict in the

Darfur region of western Sudan between the Janjaweed and the non-Baggara people began in July 2003. The estimated number of deaths in the conflict have ranged from 50 000 (WHO 2004) to 450 000 (Reeves 2006). As many as 2,5 million are thought to have been displaced. The mass media have described the conflict as both ‘ethnic cleansing’ and ‘genocide.’ Below are some resources relevant to food insecurity. Suggestions of other resources are welcome.
