1 gen 2004 anni - International attention increases towards the
conflict as the army moves to stop the uprising
in western Darfur. Pro-government militias
begin systemic killings. The Sudan government
agrees with the Sudan Liberation Army (SLA)
and the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) on
a ceasefire, although the UN Reports that
Sudan has not met targets for disarming
pro-government militias. The United States calls
the situation a genocide.
