The ongoing conflict in Darfur is an attack on the Masalit and other non-Arab groups by Rapid Support Forces, a paramilitary group, and the successor group of the Janjaweed militia that carried out genocidal attacks two decades ago.

Sudan has been embroiled in conflict for decades. But 20 years ago, it was the site of the first genocide of the 21st century, when perhaps 300,000 people were killed between 2003 and 2005 while the world, largely, looked on.
