Did we not say “never again” after Rwanda? Are we just waiting for this event to turn into a statistic written down in our history? All current proposals for fixing Darfur are flawed. Calls to apply sanctions and visa bans will do nothing to stop the killing. There needs to be a regional solution to this conflict seeing as how it threatens regional stability. Sudan’s neighbors have both the motive and the means to stop the slaughter in Darfur. Whether these states are able to work through diplomatic pressure , or whether it takes limited military action on their part, the United Nations should support a responsible regional strategy.

The UN needs to intervene as soon as possible and stop this from continuing any further. Even if the intervention causes another battle between forces then I believe that that is a chance we have to take in order to settle this issue in Darfur and give the people of Darfur peace.

This is a really informative article! I realize that there are so many problems that we as Americans over look. We so easily get caught up in the smaller problems of our daily lives and fail to see the bigger picture and how we can help affect people on a global scale.

I think this is a step in the right direction. Although aspects of the resloution are disappointing, we must remember that things take time to change. The crisis in Darfur is continuing to effect people around the world and the movement is a work in progress. I live in Texas and I will say that there are many people left to be educated about what is going on. I will do what I can to make sure and spread the word!

I think the real “evil” we need to focus on is the organization that watered down the resolution. As much as you can blame Sudan for accepting the treaty, it is ultimately the UN’s fault for putting any kind of restrictions of the actions of the peacekeepers.

This resolution closely resembles what went on in Rwanda with the UN peace keeping forces. I don’t think that having a resolution that does nothing to physically protect and do something about the violence is really necessary. Great blog. Thanks for keeping us updated
