Villages in Darfur

A lot of the villages in Darfur have either been damaged or destroyed because of the Jangaweed and the Sudanese government. There have been more than 2,000 villages attacked in Darfur which have caused people to go through a difficult life and most of them have been struggling to live. Although a lot of people are having a hard time living in Darfur, most of them have a hard time leaving their homes and villages, thinking they have no other place to go.
