Source One Summary: The conflict began in 2003 when rebels decided they didn’t like the government. The government responded brutally, with government troops invading civilian towns, killing men and raping women. The resulting violence caused as many as 300,000 people dying (Though the president, Omar Al-Bashir, places the death toll at only 10,000), and another 1.9 million in displacement camps or fleeing to Chad. President Bashir was charged by the ICC with war crimes in March 2009.

The Justice and Equality Movement (Jem) began killing government figures in 2003, and that ultimately led to violence due to government attempts at suppression clashing with the Jem. It eventually scaled into mass genocide and violence, resulting in many refugees to Chad and displacement camps.
Response:
The Darfur conflict began when black Africans decided to change the religious persecution they had been forced to endure since 1956. The government had been forcing the primarily Christian and Traditionalist black native population to convert to Islam since it had gained independence from Great Britain. Rebels attacked the central government, and the government responded with a harsh counter plan consisting essentially of government troops massacring all political opponents. However, as such plans tend to pan out, the troops eventually had no distinction between who was a political opponent and who was not, so civilians began dying. Violence has surged and ebbed over the years, but the genocide is still happening
