Darfur is a region set apart: huge, remote, and poverty
stricken. Its people are today locked in conflict, terrorized by
the lawless Arab militia known as janjawid, which has created what
the United Nations has called ''the world''s worst humanitarian
disaster''. As M. W. Daly, distinguished historian and long-term
observer of the Sudan, explains, the roots of the crisis lie deep
in Darfur''s past. Tracing the story to the origins of the Fur state
in the seventeenth century, through imperial expansion, revolution,
and finally Darfur''s annexation by the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, he
shows how years of neglect left the region unprepared for
independence. The final chapters focus on the years thereafter, as
successive governments failed to rise to the challenges of
institution building and economic and political administration, and
the region descended into chaos. This is a complex and often
harrowing story, told with compassion, insight, and a strong sense
of place.
