The victims are African tribal groups. Some of the tribes of Darfur, are primarily the Fur, the Massaleit, and the Zaghawa, but also the Tunjur, the Birgid, the Dajo are some other tribes. These people have long been politically marginalized, and in recent years the National Islamic Front regime, based in Sudan’s capital of Khartoum, has refused to control increasingly violent Arab militia raids of African villages in Darfur. Competition between Arab and African tribal groups over the scarce primary resources in Darfur-arable land and water-has been exacerbated by advancing desertification throughout the Sahel region.
