This R&D provides resources on the ongoing situation in Darfur. The western region of Sudan has been beset with violence and human rights violations for over a decade, with Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir already indicted for crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court (ICC). Reports surfaced this week from Amnesty International that the Sudanese government might be using chemical weapons in the region, which has brought renewed attention to the ongoing conflict.
