As the UN debates the crisis in the Darfur region of Sudan, it must be a worrying time for the displaced people in the region, as the 7,000 strong African Union (AU) forces sent in to keep the peace have failed to do so.

The UN wants to sends its own peace keeping, who would be obviously more better equipped and better trained to handle peace enforcement in the region. However Sudan is against the idea, and instead would prefer for the AU to send in more troops to quell the situation.

Now the UN cannot forcibly enter the region with own troops without the permission of the Sudanese government, or the UN Security Council passing a special resolution to do so, which is very unlikely. The UN is frustrated by Sudan’s stance in a region that clearly needs some form of stability, and President Kofi Annan has said the region is on a brink of catastrophic situation.

Is Sudan right in refusing to accept the UN troops, shouldn’t it determine what type of help and why that it comes to resolve what is considered to be an internal conflict. Or is it refusing help to carry out what the United States is genocide of the non-Arab people in the region. Is there more other African nations can do to resolve the situation, beside sending in more inadequately and ill-equipped troops, and if so what can they do and they should they do? It your shout.
