Samenvatting

Today, the Darfur conflict is considered to be one of the worst happenings of the present day world, with millions suffering without a home, shelter, water, or food. Children languish without security, education, nutrition and more than anything else, without any hope of safety or a positive future. While the crisis is still looming large on the horizon of Sudan, and picking on the conscience of the entire world, it seems appropriate to conduct a study on the problem in the hope that it might throw some more light on the possibility of solving the conflict or at least mitigates its impact on the vulnerable and poor local communities.



The international community feels that the government, to a very large extent, is responsible for this unfortunate situation. This study and many more similar studies are needed as the Darfur problem is considered to be the worst conflict bordering on genocide. Such a crisis deserves vast amounts of research and knowledge so that a possible solution can be reached and a similar conflict can be avoided in the future. I am sure that this is highly significant, because the crisis is ongoing, and still in need of a breakthrough.
