You remember the old western movies about the home steaders and the cattle men. That is sort of what the Darfur war is about. The nomadic tribes which raise cattle are fighting the farmers for the resources of the region. Just so happens that the cattle men are Arabs and the farmers are non-Arabs. They are both Muslim. You might actually say that it is a war over who gets the water, the farmers or the cattlemen. With changing climate and continuing drought in Africa, this conflict will be just one of many in the ensuing years to come. We might as well get used to it. Wait until oil hits $100 a barrel, then watch the conflicts that will ensue.

It was started by the government in Khartoum. The Jamjawee militias are being funded and supplied by the government who wanted the land themselves. There is also a religioous component as many in southern Darfur are non-muslims.

Power strugles between the government and the rebels, and innocent children to be taken as rebel recruits.
