Line 44:

The Darfur conflict is an ongoing armed conflict in the Darfur region of western Sudan, mainly between the Janjaweed, a militia group recruited from the camel-herding tribes of the Abbala, and the mostly agricultural non-Baggara people of the region. The conflict began in July 2003. Unlike the Second Sudanese Civil War, which was fought between the primarily Muslim north and Christian and Animist south, in Darfur most of the residents are Muslim, as are the Janjaweed. The Darfur Peace Agreement signed May 5, 2006 hoped to end the conflict, but fighting has continued nonetheless.
