The UN in Darfur - FEEDBACK NEGOTIATIONS
In 2004 the UN secretary general met
with the Sudanese government - following the talks there was a
joint agreement to stop the conflict.
Since then various peace deals have been signed and then broken
between the fighting groups.
The UN continue to be successful in getting
both sides to the negotiating table.
PEACEKEEPING FORCES
After UN negotiations (and the threat of sanctions)
with the Sudanese government, a small peacekeeping force
(approx 300 troops) was allowed into Darfur in
August 2004
In 2009 15000 were in place.
They have had some success in protecting
civilians although they themselves have come under attack from both
sides on several occasions.
THREAT OF SANCTIONS
On several occasions the UN has threatened sanctions (in particular to prevent Sudan
trading oil)
This has proved effective in winning several concessions
from the Sudanese government.
