West Darfur state

Historically part of the North Darfur during the Darfur was one of the Sudan regions, in 1995 the Darfur regions Divided into three parts which are North Darfur, South Darfur and West Darfur.

In 2015 again Darfur was divided into five states North,South,East, Center and West Darfur according to the Tribal Groups in Darfur. To appease tribal components and contain conflict between them, each tribe has a majority in terms of population and land in a region and has the ability to administer and govern. However, the situation has become more complex at the level of the social and cultural structure.

West Darfur map between 1994 to 2012

On the other hand, minority components in Darfur have been subjected to discrimination in terms of numbers and land, but we find that minorities are in fact the majority. Their numbers are very large in Darfur. However, the historical narrative, the tribal system of rule, and the native administrations have stripped most of them of power and local governance systems in Darfur. They have become a minority because the land belongs to the ruling authority or sultanate, and all subordinate components and minorities fall under it.

By 2002 and 2008 the conflict destroyed most of the villages and towns in Darfur. Over 30 thousand people were killed and 3,7 million people were displaced this number according to the United Nation till 2013, note these numbers only in the system of UN were recorded in fact the number was a bit higher than this. From there was a peace agreement being signed UNAMID peace keepers were to exist in Darfur,despite all this factor still the conflict between tribes and Millita ingoing it never stopped looting, killing and burning the villages.
