Will the UN Peacekeepers be allowed in Darfur?

Resolution 1769 authorizes a UN- African hybrid peacekeeping force. The resolution was passed in July. While this is great news for the people of Darfur, a similar resolution was passed last year and Sudan refused to let the peacekeepers enter the country. This was the first time a UN authorized force was turned away.

There is an established time frame for the deployment of the troops and December 31 is the deadline. This deployment must happen if there is any hope for the people of Darfur to return home. Everyday that passes without help from the UN the possibility of life returning back to normal for the people of Darfur slips further away.
