}}{{Quote|The report demonstrates beyond all doubt that the last two years have been little short of Hell on Earth for our fellow human beings in Darfur.|UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, referring to a 2005 report detailing the Darfur Genocide.}}The '''Darfur Genocide''' is the systematic killing and [[ethnic cleansing]] of ethnic Darfuri people which has occurred during the ongoing conflict in Western Sudan. It has become known as the first [[genocide]] of the 21st century. 

The genocide has been principally carried out by the [[Janjaweed]] ("Devils on Horseback"), a militia that is comprised of various Sudanese Arab tribes, the core of whom are from the Abbala (camel herder) background with significant recruitment from the Baggara (cattle herder) people. They are trained, funded and supplied by the Sudanese government.<ref>[https://theconversation.com/explainer-tracing-the-history-of-sudans-janjaweed-militia-118926 Explainer: tracing the history of Sudan's Janjaweed militia], ''The Conversation''</ref> Official Sudanese Army forces are also involved, as are [[death squad]]s known as the [[Rapid Support Forces]].

It has been compared to the [[Rwandan Genocide]] due to the manner in which it has been carried out as well as the level of violence involved.
