 | The resulting conflict, known as the First Sudanese Civil War, lasted from 1955 to 1972 and was heavy influenced by support from Islamic jihadists seeking to expand Salafist Arabic fundamentalism. |
 | Just as the long North-South civil war was reaching a resolution, a new rebellion in the western region of Darfur began in the early 1970s, right after Africa's greatest famine. |
 | The incident prompting the declaration of war was an attack on the Chadian town of Adré near the Sudanese border that led to the deaths of either one hundred rebels (as most news sources reported) or three hundred rebels. |
