So, some make him read that.
Throughout the history of the Darfur region, a combination of environmental, economic, and social factors contributed to the escalating tension that eventually resulted in the 2003 genocide. The region, home to six million people and numerous ethnic groups, historically contained two main communities with differing lifestyles and territorial claims.[3] One group identified as Black Africans and primarily practiced sedentary agriculture, while the other identified as Arabs and tended to lead semi-nomadic, livestock-based livelihoods. Both categories include numerous sub-groups and have interacted for centuries through trade and shared governance structures.[4]
Environmental changes in Darfur during the 1970s led to periods of severe drought and desertification. Many scholars consider the violence in Darfur to be the result of the region being one of the first "climate change conflicts" given the rising tensions over land and water resources between ethnic groups.[5] As fertile land became more scarce, disputes between the herding and farming communities increased. These tensions often resulted in conflict, especially when traditional systems for managing land access and migration routes became strained.[6]
This is no post-colonialism conflict, it is a Dark Modernity conflict based on industrialisation gone wrong. We have a dispute between settler and nomad needs. Those happen even in the U.S.A.
The 2014 Cliven Bundy standoff in Bunkerville, Nevada, was a tense, armed confrontation between rancher Cliven Bundy, his supporters (including militia), and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) agents over Bundy's refusal to pay over $1 million in grazing fees for cattle illegally using federal land, culminating in federal officers retreating, preventing a violent clash, and highlighting long-standing disputes over public land control in the West.
The solution is simple. Either we are stupid and fight or we adjust to fit. To adjust we need to think and comprehend, to be stupid we ignore and use our lower drives.
Being way off the region of Darfur I can only explain from a meta-level how a solution must look like. In the past settlers and nomads accompanied each other. Having had a more intact fauna and flora all parts of Nomad society were able to travel next to the Settlers being prosperous in also those fields that were competitive between the Settlers and the Nomads namingly live stock coltivation. No Nomad Cow needed a bite of a Settlers field and the meat and milk markets had enough cash to serve both groups.
This changed and both societies failed to find an agreement or new fields of operations, but outsiders using violence came. There is no way that millennia of cooperation tumble into murder from the inside alone. If everyone was used to talk, they keep talking.
