War in DarfurWar in Darfur began in 2003 when rebel movements challenged Sudan’s government. Government forces and their Janjaweed allies carried out a campaign of mass atrocities; approximately 300,000 people were killed and more than 2 million displaced before the war continued to 2020.Red SeaThe Red Sea connects the Suez Canal with the Indian Ocean through Bab el-Mandeb. Its shipping lanes are vital to Israel, Egypt and international trade, and have been disrupted by attacks from the Iran-backed Houthis.Port SudanPort Sudan is Sudan’s principal Red Sea port and maritime gateway. Its oil infrastructure, role as the army’s wartime headquarters, and position on a major shipping route have made it central to Sudan’s economy and to foreign competition for naval access.Omar al-BashirOmar al-Bashir ruled Sudan from 1989 until a military coup removed him in 2019. His government sheltered jihadist networks, supported arms transfers to Hamas, and waged a brutal war in Darfur that led to International Criminal Court warrants for war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide.Middle EastThe Middle East is a region linking Israel, neighboring Arab countries, Iran and surrounding lands at a strategic gateway between Europe, Asia and Africa. Its ancient cultures, religious traditions, energy resources and waterways have shaped world history and modern international affairs.JanjaweedThe Janjaweed were Sudanese government-backed Arab militias deployed against rebels and civilians in Darfur from 2003. Their campaign of murder, sexual violence and forced displacement formed part of the Darfur genocide; the Rapid Support Forces grew from the militias in 2013.Israel–Sudan normalization agreementIsrael and Sudan announced mutual recognition and an end to their state of belligerence on October 23, 2020. Sudan signed an Abraham Accords declaration in 2021, but a comprehensive bilateral peace treaty and full diplomatic relations remained unfinished amid a coup and civil war.HemedtiMohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as Hemedti, commands Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces. His rise from Darfur militia leader to deputy head of Sudan’s transitional leadership preceded his war with the army, the displacement of civilians and his attempt to establish a parallel government.
