Inside the Forgotten War in Darfur, Where the Killing Never Stopped
DARFUR, Sudan — The jagged peaks of the Jebel Marra mountains rise suddenly out of an endless stretch of desert in western Sudan’s Darfur region. Rebel soldiers, many of whom came here to fight against the government nearly 20 years ago, man their posts.
Today civilians here live in relative safety after decades of war, but these mountaintop villages are completely cut off from the rest of Sudanese society. To many, trauma from decades of bombs dropped on them by their own government is compounded by their total isolation.
A team from VICE News are the first outside journalists to access the last rebel stronghold in Jebel Marra in five years. What we found is an area still completely cut off from Sudan and still functionally at war. Nearly a year after a historic revolution toppled Presi...

Sudan: Participatory 3D mapping in North Darfur
This animation takes us to Wadi El Ku catchment in North Darfur, Sudan where communities connect to reflect on challenges and solutions related to water resources and water management. To do this they manufacture a scaled and geo-referenced Participatory 3D model of the catchment.
By acquiring an aerial view of the landscape, participants further appreciate the vital importance of water, the need for its equitable distribution and sound management, and how upstream and downstream use of natural resources is interrelated. Knowledge holders realize that what they know is relevant and important for them and their peers. Furthermore, they learn that pooling (spatial) knowledge and defining future actions collectively represents powerful means for improving water resource management to everyon...

DARFUR, Sudan — The jagged peaks of the Jebel Marra mountains rise suddenly out of an endless stretch of desert in western Sudan’s Darfur region. Rebel soldiers, many of whom came here to fight against the government nearly 20 years ago, man their posts.
Today civilians here live in relative safety after decades of war, but these mountaintop villages are completely cut off from the rest of Sudanese society. To many, trauma from decades of bombs dropped on them by their own government is compounded by their total isolation.
A team from VICE News are the first outside journalists to access the last rebel stronghold in Jebel Marra in five years. What we found is an area still completely cut off from Sudan and still functionally at war. Nearly a year after a historic revolution toppled President Omar al-Bashir, some in Jebel Marra haven’t even heard he is no longer in power.

This animation takes us to Wadi El Ku catchment in North Darfur, Sudan where communities connect to reflect on challenges and solutions related to water resources and water management. To do this they manufacture a scaled and geo-referenced Participatory 3D model of the catchment.
By acquiring an aerial view of the landscape, participants further appreciate the vital importance of water, the need for its equitable distribution and sound management, and how upstream and downstream use of natural resources is interrelated. Knowledge holders realize that what they know is relevant and important for them and their peers. Furthermore, they learn that pooling (spatial) knowledge and defining future actions collectively represents powerful means for improving water resource management to everyone’s benefit.
The participatory mapping activity took place in the framework of the European Union-funded ‘Wadi El Ku Catchment Management Project for Livelihoods Development and Sustainable Peace’ project and has been facilitated jointly by UN Environment, Practical Action and the Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation ACP-EU (CTA).

12. Boy riding donkey, refugee camp in background
13. Women and children riding donkeys outside refugee camp
STORYLINE:
Sudan's Minister for Humanitarian Affairs said on Thursday his government had made serious progress in improving security and access for humanitarian relief in the troubled region of Darfur.
He made his comments as a United Nations verification team toured the area to check Khartoum was conforming with its humanitarian demands.
UN envoy Erick De Mul arrived in Al-Fasher, the capital of North Darfur state on Thursday.
He is to look at at the government's efforts to improve security and rein in Arab militia accused of months of atrocities in Darfur, so that he can prepare an assessment that could determine whether or not Sudan will be punished with sanctions.
De Mul said that his was "an objective verification and the UN's mind has not been made up."
Police and military commanders briefed De Mul on security in and immediately around nearby camps for IDPs (internally displaced persons).
Later, he was briefed by U.N. aid workers and a Sudanese government manager at Abu Shouk, a camp near Al-Fasher where some 40,000 people have found refuge.
The United Nations says violence has driven about 1.4 million people from their homes to some 147 camps throughout Darfur's three states, while another 180,000 Darfur refugees have fled into neighbouring Chad.
"We could like to spend as much time as possible with the (people who have fled their homes) and with the people of the area to check what has been going on and to check out whether the security situation has improved," De Mul said.
At Abu Shouk, camp manager El Satch Abdel Aziz said the displaced would return home "if security is provided."
He said his camp, patrolled by Sudanese police, was safe.
But aid workers there have said women in the camp are afraid to leave and that the police themselves are a threat, with some forcing sexual favours from the women in exchange for fetching water or other errands that require leaving the camp.
A second U.N. team led by UN special representative Jan Pronk was focusing on West Darfur, while U.N. deputy special representative Manuel Aranda Da Silva was assigned to South Darfur.
A resolution adopted by the U.N. Security Council on July 30 gave the government 30 days to improve the situation in Darfur or face possible sanctions.
The uprising followed years of clashes between Darfur's ethnic Arab herders and ethnic African farmers over scarce resources.

On December 19, 2018, protests broke out in small cities throughout Sudan amid an economic crisis, eventually reaching the country's capital, Khartoum. These protests posed the biggest challenge to Sudan's longest-serving dictator, Omar al-Bashir, who throughout his regime did everything he could to remain in power. Bashir relied on various security sectors to protect him from being overthrown. However, his plan ultimately failed on April 11, 2019, when the country's army, the Sudanese Armed Forces, and a paramilitary force, the Rapid Support Forces, sided with the protesters and carried out a military coup, toppling Bashir.
The end of Bashir's regime brought hope to the protesters, but they remained skeptical about the men who had overthrown him. SAF’s Abdel Fattah Burhan and RSF’s Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (aka Hemeti) took control of the country after the coup and made repeated promises to hand over power to civilians, which would put Sudan on a democratic path. But they continuously delayed fulfilling their promises and instead turned against each other, vying for power in Sudan. The two men have brutally interrupted Sudan’s pro-democracy revolution.
The fighting between the two men's forces started out in Sudan's capital, Khartoum, and spread all over the country. Recent ceasefire breakdowns have led to more bursts of violence, especially in Darfur, a region still reeling from the aftermath of a genocide at the hands of Bashir's regime.
Watch the latest episode of Atlas to understand how their feud has undermined the democratic aspirations of the protesters and put Sudan at risk of a civil war.

How Sudan's top two military men turned on each other

On December 19, 2018, protests broke out in small cities throughout Sudan amid an economic crisis, eventually reaching the country's capital, Khartoum. These protests posed the biggest challenge to Sudan's longest-serving dictator, Omar al-Bashir, who throughout his regime did everything he could to remain in power. Bashir relied on various security sectors to protect him from being overthrown. However, his plan ultimately failed on April 11, 2019, when the country's army, the Sudanese Armed Forces, and a paramilitary force, the Rapid Support Forces, sided with the protesters and carried out a military coup, toppling Bashir.
The end of Bashir's regime brought hope to the protesters, but they remained skeptical about the men who had overthrown him. SAF’s Abdel Fattah Burhan and RSF’s Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (aka Hemeti) took control of the country after the coup and made repeated promises to hand over power to civilians, which would put Sudan on a democratic path. But they continuously delayed fulfilling their promises and instead turned against each other, vying for power in Sudan. The two men have brutally interrupted Sudan’s pro-democracy revolution.
The fighting between the two men's forces started out in Sudan's capital, Khartoum, and spread all over the country. Recent ceasefire breakdowns have led to more bursts of violence, especially in Darfur, a region still reeling from the aftermath of a genocide at the hands of Bashir's regime.
Watch the latest episode of Atlas to understand how their feud has undermined the democratic aspirations of the protesters and put Sudan at risk of a civil war.
