"Darfur is a province in western Sudan, Africa's largest country, located in the northeast corner of the continent. Beginning in 2003, conflicts between rebel groups and government-backed militias led to as many as two hundred thousand deaths, and the dislocation of over two million refugees, in what many call the single worst humanitarian crisis in Africa's history. Many of the atrocities committed by these militias have led to international condemnation and accusations of genocide and ethnic cleansing and have contributed to further conflict across Sudan's western border with Chad."
