Around two million people fled their homes, and at least 150,000 were thought to have died, as a result of violence that had affected the Darfur region of Sudan since early 2003. Rebel groups such as the Sudan Liberation Army (SLA) and the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) claimed that Sudan's government was oppressing black Africans in favor of Arabs. The government was accused of lending support to Arab militias such as the Janjaweed, which rebels said was conducting ethnic cleansing in the Dafur area.
