The Darfur refugees are predominantly Muslim. The government's strongarm militia RSF was earlier castigated for massacring Christians. Darfur is rich in oil and rare earth minerals.

In Data Center Alley, AI sows building boom, doubts

Ashburn is in Loudoun County, the richest county per capita in the United States, with towns the world over looking at the Washington suburb as a way to win the future—even if others see it as a cautionary tale.

Among its 40,000 citizens, Ashburn alone has 152 data centers currently in operation over its 40 square kilometers (15.4 square miles), with more bursting from the ground, part of an AI investment boom creating a race for ever more massive structures.

In 2025, private companies are spending roughly $40 billion a month on data center construction in the United States, according to the US Census Bureau, much of that for megaprojects by the major AI players: Google, Amazon, Microsoft and OpenAI.

This compares to just $1.8 billion a decade ago.
