Can someone help me regarding Sudan/genocide?

[Senator Lamb]

I'm doing a paper for my college class focusing on the impact of failed states, one of my example is genocide in Sudan. Does someone have a good article that explains how the conflict came about and which ethnic groups are fighting, possible taking into account recent news. I'm not really being lazy, I have 4 papers due this week and am slowly fading into a vegetable state from work overload. thank you very much.

3. On the BBC site, make sure and click on timeline (on the right).

It gives a great summary, as well as including some pictures with links underneath that get into details of the history and conflict.

4. databases

go to your library's web page and search the following databases: Info trac (Expanded Academic Index) and Lexis-Nexus. For historical background you can try Historical Abstracts.
You'll turn up tons of articles, many full text.

5. Caution: don't try to lift any of the stuff you find

professors now have plagiarism software than scans papers to see if anything has been lifted off the web.
