Special Video Series: Sudan, Country in Crisis

Political and ethnic violence in Sudan's Darfur region has left hundreds of thousands dead and millions more displaced since 2003. Go behind the headlines with a special National Geographic video series detailing the countless lives that have been irrevocably changed by the conflict—from journalists to war veterans, photographers to refugees.

The brutal conflict between government-sponsored militias and rebel groups in Sudan's Darfur region has been called "one of the worst humanitarian crises of the 21st century."
