It borders the Central African Republic, Libya, and Chad. It is divided into three federal states within Sudan: Gharb Darfur (West Darfur), Janub Darfur (South Darfur), and Shamal Darfur (North Darfur). Since 2003 there has been an ongoing humanitarian crisis that developed from the conflict between Janjaweed militias and the Sudan Liberation Movement and Justice and Equality Movement.
