		Darfur, which means land of the Fur, has faced many years of tension over land and grazing rights between the mostly nomadic Arabs, and farmers from the Fur, Massaleet and Zagawa communities.
		With much of Darfur inaccessible to aid workers and researchers, calculating how many deaths there have been in the past three years is impossible.
		Accurate figures are crucial in determining whether the deaths in Darfur are genocide or - as the Sudanese government says - the situation is being exaggerated.

	Reuters AlertNet - CRISIS PROFILE-What's going on in Sudan's Darfur?
		Darfur’s population of seven million is scattered over a harsh desert area of about 200,000 square km (125,000 square miles).
		The war between the government and rebels in the south is often depicted as a conflict between the Arab, Muslim north and the fl animist or Christian south, but it has also been significantly fuelled by divisions over control of oilfields and political power.
		The ICG says the removal of so many people from their homes in Darfur appears to be part of a government policy of ethnic cleansing in order to cripple any support for the rebel movements, who are hostile to Khartoum.

	Sudan Watch: Oil found in South Darfur - Oil issues threaten to derail Sudan hopes for peace
		Once again, here is another report that says it was the discovery of oil in southern Sudan in 1979, often under land close to the historical border between north and south, that led to the start of the second bloody civil war in the south in 1983.
		The SPLM and the government of Sudan are expected to reach agreement on the formation of a government of national unity, the new government of the south and the government of the states, but proposals to share the country's oil wealth on a 50/50 basis may lead to further friction.

		NAIROBI, 27 Apr 2006 (IRIN) - A recent spate of attacks in South Darfur State seems to constitute a new military offensive by the Sudanese government and puts the lives of tens of thousands of people at risk, regional analysts have warned.
		Gereida's strategic location, on the main road from Nyala south to Buram, has made it and surrounding villages a focal point for armed clashes over the past six months.
		In March, the AU announced that Gereida was home to nearly 90,000 internally displaced people, one of the largest concentrations in Darfur.

	Sudan: New Darfur Documents (Human Rights Watch, 20-7-2004)
		In a series of official Arabic-language documents from government authorities in North and South Darfur dating from February and March 2004, officials call for recruitment and military support, including “provisions and ammunition” to be delivered to known Janjaweed militia leaders, camps and “loyalist tribes.”
		While the government has committed itself to disarming “outlawed” groups, including the rebel insurgency, it is unclear whether the government considers the Janjaweed militias it has supported as among the groups to be disarmed.
		Human Rights Watch said that under no circumstances should Janjaweed members who have participated in attacks, murders and rapes of civilians in Darfur be included within the police and military forces the government is now using to protect the population.
