voice 1: Darfur, Sudan. The name means, 'the land of the Fur'. It is a large dry area in the west of Africa's largest country. And it is an area of serious conflict. The conflict started there in 2003. It began as unrest about land and ethnic differences. Some groups claimed the right to the land for farming. A different ethnic group wanted the land for keeping animals. The Sudanese government supported one group against the other. And this led to military attacks on many villages in Darfur.
声音1:苏丹达尔富尔。达尔富尔这个名称的意思是“富尔人的土地”。这是位于非洲最大国家以西的一大片干旱地区。该地区充斥着严重的冲突。冲突始于2003年。冲突的起因是土地和种族差异引起的动荡。一些组织宣称有权使用这一土地进行耕种。另一个民族则希望在这片土地上养动物。苏丹政府支持一个组织对抗另一个组织。这导致达尔富尔的许多村庄遭受了军事袭击。
