Causes of Darfur Problems• Problem arose when Black-African citizens felt
neglected by Sudan government. They took up arms under two rebel groups; known as the Justice Equality Movement (JEM) and the Allied Sudan Liberation Movement (ASLM)
• Reason Black-African citizens felt neglected is Sudan government did not help to end poverty in region
• There has been a conflict between Black-African tribesmen and Arab tribesmen over land and resources in Western Sudan for decades

Causes continued

the Sudan government into accepting a peace proposal.

Solutions/Success
• Un security council pressure seems to be bringing both sides to the peace table but no real concrete results have occurred
• Members of Un Security Council Have different views on how to solve problems. Russia/ China believe threatening makes situation worse. Oil involved in that situation
• African Union troops have been unsuccessful in preventing and monitoring attacks because of lack of funds and man power. This will be increasing shortly.
