Abstract: This paper has two objectives: First, to develop and critically examine\nvarious measures of ethnic cleansing on the basis of a review of the existing\nliterature. Second, to apply the suggested measures to a unique sample of 530\nvillages in Southwestern Darfur. Our data shows that 57 percent of the popu-\nlation from the targeted groups have ed the area and that their share of the\ntotal population has fallen from 70 to 46 percent. The degree of ethnic diversity\nat the regional level is very high but due to the high level of segregation, ethnic\ndiversity at the village level is extremely low. Our results suggest that admin-\nistrative units with a more pronounced pattern of segregation also experienced\na greater degree of ethnic cleansing.
