  What is happening in Darfur, Sudan is that the warfare has continued against the country. All the chaos has only been heightening over the last 5 years. Darfur has been trying to end the civil war that has been occurring for 20 years now.
  The conflict that erupted in the three states of Darfur, in western Sudan, in early 2003, between two armed groups and the Government of the Sudan, has been a humanitarian catastrophe. The armed groups, the 'Sudan Liberation Army' (SLA) and the 'Justice and Equality Movement' (JEM), began the war with attacks on towns, government facilities and civilians in Darfur, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of policemen and civilians and the break down of law and order in Darfur. The region is home to some 80 tribes and ethnic groups divided between nomadic and sedentary communities. The rebels appear to have been identified within two or three communities such as the Fur and the Zaghawa tribes which straddle the Sudan-Chad border.
  
  The conflict subsequently spiraled out of control and has led to many thousands of deaths and the displacement of hundreds of thousands of civilians within Sudan. Many others have fled into neighbouring Chad. [1] There have also been numerous allegations of gender-based sexual violence perpetrated by gunmen. A UN International Commission of Inquiry into the Darfur violence recommended that some of the human rights abuses be referred to the International Criminal Court.
