In May, the New York Times estimated that up to 400,000 people have been murdered and more than 2 million people have been displaced from their homes by Sudanese government backed militias called the Janjaweed. The genocide is a massive campaign to rid the Dafur region of its African population. The BBC reports that "human rights groups say there has been a systematic campaign of rape, intended to humiliate and punish non-Arab groups...they have killed, raped, maimed, looted and burned down tens of thousands of village homes, displacing hundreds of thousands of people."
