Arab-speaking black Darfurians who are nomads are exterminating non-Arab black Darfurians who are settled farmers because of fights over lands. However, the conflict grew because of the formation of rebel groups from the non-Arab tribes which attacked the government, who now support the janjaweed Arabs.

What this particular article pointed out was that the two people groups lived side by side without any trouble, until the drought. Once there wasn’t enough water to go round, people banded together and started claiming exclusive rights to things that they used to share.
Yes, we need to be careful not to overplay the climate change factor, but it’s not all about religion either. It’s a complicated conflict. There is oil in southern Sudan, which complicates matters. There’s a post-colonial legacy too, and the hang-ups from the civil war in the 50s.

Darfur is NOT about the drought. It is about the Muslims trying to exterminate the Christians. It is obfuscation on the part of organizations like the UN which have no interest in dealing with systematic Muslim persecution of Christians worldwide that would allow anyone to think this genocide is about anything else.
