What’s happening in West Darfur?

Sudan’s new government vowed to bring peace to the country. So, why has there been a new wave violence in the West Darfur region? And who’s behind it?

Darfur’s recent history is one of violence.

But, after Sudan’s Omar al-Bashir was ousted from the presidency in 2019, there was hope.

A transitional government was formed – and with it came promises of stability.

A peace agreement was signed with rebel factions that, for years, had fought the government.

And yet, despite those deals, a new wave of violence has hit West Darfur.

Who’s behind? And how did it come about in the first place?
