This conflict was between the rebel groups and the government. There were two major rebel groups. They were the Sudan Liberation Army (SLA) and the Justice and Equality Movement (Jem). The two rebel groups made a peace treaty, in 2006, with the government and know merged into the National Redemption Front. This is led by the former Darfur governor Ahmed Diraige. The government are the ones who are causing the crisis.
The government isn’t admitting to any connections with the Janjaweed, or the group of people against the black Africans. On the other hand, the refuges said that their villages were attacked by the government aircrafts and the Janjaweed invaded with horses and camels. After the UN investigation team was sent into Sudan, the President Omar al-Bashir denied ever being involved with the Janjaweed. In fact he called them thieves and gangsters. But after strong interrogation pressure the government said they would disarm the Janjaweed though nothing has been done.
Unlike the Nuremburg laws that took away the rights of the Jews, here in Darfur, Sudan the Janjaweed and the government are just attacking the villages. There are no laws taking away their human rights instead their villages are getting destroyed. This takes away their human rights. The women are getting raped and get abducted. The men are getting slaughtered. Because of this they had to flee their villages. There were no laws made to violate their rights, instead the Sudanese government and other groups just took them.
