 Bu makalede Osmanlı döneminden günümüze kadar Türkiye Darfur ilişkileri ele alınmıştır. İncelemenin başında konuya zemin teşkil etmesi için günümüzde Türkiyenin Sudanla ilişkileri, Darfur bölgesi ve bu bölgede yaşanmakta olan sorun hakkında bilgi verilmiştir. Ardından Osmanlı Darfur ilişkileri, Darfurun son sultanı Ali Dinarın Osmanlı İmparatorluğuyla tesis ettiği dostane ilişkiler ve bu uğurda verdiği mücadele, günümüzde Türkiyenin Darfur bölgesiyle olan kalkınma işbirliği, bu bölgede Türkiye tarafından yürütülmekte olan bazı kalkınma projeleri ve bunların bölgenin kalkınmasına etkileri vb. konular işlenmiştir. İncelemede Sudanın Darfur bölgesinin, Osmanlı İmparatorluğu döneminden başlayarak günümüze kadar Türk halkıyla sürekli dostane ilişkiler içerisinde bulunduğu, bölgenin son sultanı olan Ali Dinarın Birinci Dünya Savaşı sırasında Osmanlı İmparatorluğuna fiili destek vermesiyle zirveye çıkan bu iyi ilişkilerin günümüzde de Sudanla olan ikili ilişkilerin geliştirilmesine zemin oluşturduğu tespitinde bulunulmuştur.
