A Story of Coincidence and Chance

I don't know enough about the specifics of Darfur to comment on it. But I will say that the majority of conflicts around the world are (and always have been) about resources. Battles that are portrayed as being about religious differences are usually triggered when there isn't enough of something to go around - land, water, energy. One group denies another group a fair slice of the pie, and they fight over it. The larger powers only get involved when they have a self-interest in doing so...when a country has something that they want.
