Worthy of note, the Janjaweed are allies to a network of militias in the Middle East and North Africa that includes #Hamas and #Hezbollah. Voices from Darfur are urging the US and Europe, as well as the Arab League to intervene at once.
Janjaweed nomads were initially at odds with Darfur’s sedentary population due to competition over natural grazing grounds and farmland, a conflict exacerbated by dwindling rainfall and drought.
The Janjaweed were a major player in the Darfur conflict between 2003 and 2020, in opposition to the Sudan Liberation Movement/Army and the Justice and Equality Movement rebels. In 2013, the Rapid Support Forces grew out of the Janjaweed.
