Re: ‘I am anti-Zionist Jew, not anti-Semitic’, pro-Palestine Jewish activist says – Middle East Monitor

You jest? Or merely demonstrate the extent of your ignorance?
For the point I made an hour ago on the land issue topic: is point made by UN agency, about Darfur:
Climate change and competition over natural resources: As a result of climate change and environmental degradation, land is one of the key issues at the heart of conflict throughout Darfur. In rural areas, the use of land for agriculture versus livestock grazing is a major point of contention between farming and nomadic pastoralist and semipastoralist communities. Due to environmental pressures, such as drought and desertification, the seasonal movements of nomadic communities and their livestock from the north, through West Darfur, and towards the south, no longer follows previously established migratory patterns. Nomads therefore move into the area with their animals in October instead of February, when farmers have still not finished harvesting. This necessitates the further demarcation of migratory corridors for seasonal transhumance to prevent the destruction of crops by livestock. In some cases, patters of migration have changed completely. Outside of El Geneina town, for example, some nomadic Arab communities originating from North Darfur have reportedly been pushed south by climate change and disputes with Zaghawa pastoralists. Rather than returning north during the rainy season, they instead stay with their livestock in the vicinity of El Geneina. This inevitably places more pressure on local resources, such as land and water.

[This assessment is the work of UN Sudan, including UNITAMS and the UNCT. Interviews for this peacebuilding assessment (El Geneina, Kreinik, and Beida localities) were carried out by UNDP, with funding from the MPTF, after the intercommunal violence that was seen in February 2021. The write up was completed together with UNHCR and the PBF Secretariat. ]
