Yes, but you need a full stop after "2.7 million people."  (Period, and capital "An.")

Peaceblinkfriend The Darfur conflict started in 2003 and has displaced more than 2.7 million people, an estimated 300,000 people have died since the conflict began.

Edit. If your last clause were a relative clause, that is, referring to your earlier statement, then a comma would be appropriate:
The conflict has displaced 2.7 million people, 300,000 of whom will never return.

Of course, in your original, you may optionally use a semicolon.
