Panel Organiser: Roland Marchal

What are the spaces of war? A simple answer would be Darfur and Eastern Chad, or the complex made up of the three countries (Chad Sudan and CAR) but we all know that it is not anymore true and some pundits may even argue that it hardly has been the case from the early stage of this conflict. Darfur these days has to be saved from afar: thanks to various civil society coalitions and through the pressure on some capitals including Washington and Beijing. The panel intends to look at the way activists have reframed the Darfur conflict to target the Islamist regime in Khartoum and some of its international allies, though keeping a quite stance on other aspects of a disturbing reality.
