    Wikipedia lists the genocide as ongoing since 2003, although most of the killings occurred from 2003 to 2005; I don’t understand the ethnic killings in darfur to have ever completely stopped.

    In 2019 a civilian government came to power, but then there was a military coup in 2023 by many of the same people that perpetrated the genocide in 2003, so it’s starting back up in force, as I understand:

      Interesting! Ig I was thinking of 2003-2005 when I thought about the genocide. I did know about the 2023 stuff but ig I didn’t realize they had a legit govt since 2019

        Yeah. The attacks by the government committing the genocide and rebel groups continued after 2005 and the “treaty”, and while it was still a targeted ethnic genocide, it wasn’t as scaled as those first two years.

        Then in 2019, the people revolted got the government back for 2 years, and then in 2021 the military got it back and now the ethnic killing started again in 2023.

        The media cycle about the d arfyr genocide was reporting on the genocide for those 2 years, but ethnic killings in darfur never completely stopped for the past 20 years.
