Justice and Equality Movement
Appearance
The Justice and Equality Movement is a rebel group involved in the Darfur conflict of Sudan. Along with other rebel groups such as the Sudan Liberation Army, they are fighting against the government-supported Janjaweed militia. They are also a member of the Eastern Front, a rebel coalition active in the east of Sudan along the Eritrean border.
JEM espouses an Islamic ideology, and has been linked to Hassan al-Turabi, although leaders of the group and Turabi himself deny the claim.
