West Darfur covers 23,550 square kilometers along the border with Chad, featuring varied landscapes from mountains to plains suitable for agriculture and livestock.

The state underwent administrative restructuring during Sudan's federal reforms, leading to its current configuration as one of the eighteen states in Sudan.

The Masalit people, along with numerous ethnic groups in West Darfur, maintain traditional practices through music, dance performances, and communal gatherings.

El Geneina functions as the administrative center, managing governmental affairs and serving as a hub for cross-border trade with neighboring Chad.

The region supports agricultural activities centered on millet and sorghum cultivation, while international organizations provide ongoing assistance to local communities.
