Darfur (Arabic: دار فور daar foor, lit. "realm of the Fur") is a region in Sudan. An independent sultanate for several hundred years, it was incorporated into Sudan by Anglo-Egyptian forces. The region is divided into three federal states: West Darfur, South Darfur, and North Darfur which are coordinated by a Transitional Darfur Regional Authority. Due to the Darfur Conflict, the region has been in a state of humanitarian emergency since 2003.
Darfur is conjectured to have been part of the Urheimat of the Proto-Afro-Asiatic language in distant prehistoric times (c. 10,000 BC), though there are numerous other theories that exclude Darfur.
Most of the region is a semi-arid plain and thus insufficient for supporting a large and complex civilisation. Whilst the Marrah Mountains offer plentiful water, the Daju people created the first known Darfurian civilisation based in the mountains, though they left no records beside a list of kings. The Tunjur displaced the Daju in the fourteenth century and introduced Islam. The Tunjur sultans intermarried with the Fur and sultan M. Solaiman (reigned c.1596 to c.1637) is considered the founder of the Keira dynasty. Darfur became a great power of the Sahel under the Keira dynasty, expanding its borders as far east as the Atbarah River and attracting immigrants from Bornu and Bagirmi. During the mid-18th century the country was wracked by conflict between rival factions, and external war with Sennar and Wadai. In 1875, the weakened kingdom was destroyed by the Egyptian ruler set up in Khartoum, largely through the machinations of Sebehr Rahma, a businessman who was competing with the dar over access to slaves and ivory in Bahr el Ghazal to the south of Darfur.
Camp of Darfuris internally displaced by the ongoing conflictThe Darfurians were restive under Egyptian rule, but were no more predisposed to accept the rule of the self proclaimed Mahdi, Muhammad Ahmad, when his forces defeated the British forces (that has just invaded Egypt in 1882) in Darfur in 1883. When Ahmad's successor, Abdallahi ibn Muhammad, himself a Darfuri, demanded that the pastoralist tribes provide soldiers, several tribes rose up in revolt. Following the overthrow of Abdallahi at Omdurman in 1899 by the Anglo-Egyptian forces, the new Anglo-Egyptian government recognised Ali Dinar as the sultan of Darfur and largely left the dar to its own affairs except for a nominal annual tribute. During the First World War, the British became concerned that the sultanate might fall under the influence of Ottoman Empire, invaded and incorporated Darfur into the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan in 1916. Under colonial rule, financial and administrative resources were directed to the tribes of central Sudan near Khartoum to the detriment of the outlying regions such as Darfur.
This pattern of skewed development continued following national independence in 1956. To this was added an element of political instability caused by the proxy wars between Sudan, Libya and Chad. The influence of an ideology of Arab supremacy propagated by Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi that began to be acted upon by Darfurians, including those identified as "Arab" and "African". A famine in the mid-1980s disrupted many societal structures and led to the first significant fighting amongst Darfuris. A low level conflict continued for the next 15 years, with the government coopting and arming "Arab" militias against its enemies. The fighting reached a peak in 2003 with the beginning of the Darfur conflict, in which the resistance coalesced into a roughly cohesive rebel movement. The conflict soon came to be regarded as one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the world. Over 2.5 million people have been displaced, many into camps where emergency aid has created conditions that, although extremely basic, are better than in the villages, where there are over 3.5 million people.

Living Darfur -- Mattafix-ALWIS Lyrics
See the nation through the people's eyes,
See tears that flow like rivers from the skies.
Where it seems there are only borderlines
Where others turn and sigh,
You shall rise ...
There's disaster in your past
Boundaries in your path
What do you desire will lift you higher?
You don't have to be extraordinary, just forgiving.
And those who never heard your cries,
You shall rise ....
And look toward the skies.
Where others fail, you prevail in time.
You shall rise.
Awu indoda yam
Hayi bayibulele bo
Hayi indoda yam
Hayi ababanda bam
Ukubu izi ingane zabo zodlala zibuzuswa
Ingane ezindane zabo zodlala zibuziswa
(You may never know,
If you lay low, lay low) ......
You shall rise ......
Sooner or later we must try... Living
(You may never know,
If you lay low, lay low) ......
See the nation through the people's eyes,
See tears that flow like rivers from the skies.
Where it seems there are only borderlines
where others turn and sigh,
you shall rise .....
(You may never know,
If you lay low, lay low) .....
Sooner or later we must try... Living

Lyrics:
See the nation through the people's eyes,
See tears that flow like rivers from the skies.
Where it seems there are only border-lines,
Where others turn and sigh,
You shall rise.
You shall rise.
There's disaster in your past,
Boundaries in your path.
What you desire will lift you higher.
You don't have to be extraordinary just forgiving,
Of those who never heard your cries.
You shall rise.
You shall rise.

"No Weapon formed against you shall prosper": Isaiah 54:13
And all your [spiritual] children shall be disciples [taught by the Lord and obedient to His will], and great shall be the peace and undisturbed composure of your children. 14 You shall establish yourself in righteousness (rightness, in conformity with God's will and order): you shall be far from even the thought of oppression or destruction, for you shall not fear, and from terror, for it shall not come near you. 15 Behold, they may gather together and stir up strife, but it is not from Me. Whoever stirs up strife against you shall fall and surrender to you. 16 Behold, I have created the smith who blows on the fire of coals and who produces a weapon for its purpose; and I have created the devastator to destroy. 17 But no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall show to be in the wrong. This [peace, righteousness, security, triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the Lord [those in whom the ideal Servant of the Lord is reproduced]; this is the righteousness or the vindication which they obtain from Me [this is that which I impart to them as their justification], says the Lord. - Isaiah 54:13
Worship the Lord Jesus Christ. PLEASE Read: The Book of Enoch (Jude 14-15)and The Book of Jashar(Joshua 10:12-13) & (2 Samuel 1:18) Scripture points to these Books and Scripture is Truth. Jesus told and showed us both (in Spirit and in dreams) that He is coming soon. Please be ready!

"Living Darfur" è stato girato all'interno di un campo profughi al confine tra il Ciad e il Darfur.
Il Darfur è una regione situata ad ovest del Sudan, di cui fa parte, al confine con il Ciad. Dal 2003 è teatro di un feroce conflitto che vede contrapposti la locale maggioranza nera alla minoranza araba (maggioranza nel resto del Sudan). Quest'ultima appoggiata dal governo centrale, che è accusato di tollerare le feroci scorribande della tribù nomade-guerriera dei Janjaweed, anch'essa di origine araba.
Il video del singolo, è uscito in coincidenza del "Global day for Darfur", manifestazione che ha visto scendere in strada grandi personalità e cittadini di 50 paesi del mondo per chiedere di mettere fine alle stragi e per richiamare l'attenzione dei media e della politica.
I ricavati dalle vendite dell'album sono stati devoluti interamente al progetto "Darfur", fondato dal leader dei Rolling Stones, Mick Jagger, e appoggiato da decine e decine di musicisti, attori e cantanti. L'intendo dei Mattafix, con "Living Darfur", non è solo quello di aderire ad un progetto benefico ma, soprattutto, quello di sensibilizzare la pubblica opinione su una delle catastrofi umane più pesanti che siano in corso al mondo e che coinvolge proprio questa regione del Sudan.
Nel maggio 2006 è sorto in Italia un movimento on-line per la promozione dei diritti umani in Darfur, Italian Blogs for Darfur, che il 29 aprile 2007, a Roma, ha promosso e organizzato, il primo Global Day for Darfur in Italia, giunto alla terza edizione nel resto del mondo, per chiedere un impegno dell'Italia per la risoluzione del conflitto in Darfur e più informazione.

Traduzione in italiano Living Darfur:
"Vivere il Darfur"
Guarda la nazione attraverso gli occhi del popolo
Guarda le lacrime che scorrono come fiumi dai cieli
Dove sembra che ci siano solo confini
Dove gli altri si girano e sospirano
Tu devi sollevarti (x2)
Cè un disastro nel tuo passato
Limiti nel tuo cammino
Cosa desideri quando ti tiri più su?
Non devi essere straordinario, solo perdonando
Quelli che non hanno mai sentito i tuoi pianti,
Tu ti solleverai (x2)
E guarda verso i cieli
Dove altri falliscono, tu prevali nel tempo
Tu devi sollevarti
(Non lo puoi mai sapere
Se ti abbatti, ti abbatti) (x4)
Tu devi sollevarti (x3)
Prima o poi dobbiamo provarea vivere
(Non lo puoi mai sapere
Se ti abbatti, ti abbatti) (x4)
Guarda la nazione attraverso gli occhi del popolo
Guarda le lacrime che scorrono come fiumi dai cieli
Dove sembra che ci siano solo confini
Dove gli altri si girano e sospirano
Tu devi sollevarti (x2)
(Non lo puoi mai sapere
Se ti abbatti, ti abbatti) (x4)
Prima o poi dobbiamo provarea vivere
