The document provides background information on the conflict in Darfur, Sudan. It begins with the student's interest in genocide and displaced peoples. It then outlines key events of the Darfur conflict, including the rebel uprising against the government in 2003 due to lack of protection, and the government's violent response using Janjaweed militias to displace and kill civilians. Over 2 million have been displaced and 400,000 killed so far from ongoing attacks, drought, and starvation. The student expresses surprise that the conflict continues with little international effort to resolve it.
