The European Union is pressing Sudan to accept the United Nation's resolution. Sudanese Troops barred the UN humanitarian cheif from entering a refugee camp. More than 200,000 have been killed and 4 million are caught amidst the fighting.
The UN is trying to get Egypt to press Sudan to let the UN enter but they declined.

Sudan is being pressured to allow 20,000 soldiers and police officers into Darfur. This resolution was passed August 31, but Sudan's government will simply not tolerate it. They feel as though placing troops on their soil is an invasion. Osama bin Laden warned that a UN intervention would not be tolerated. That puts a new spin on this situation. If we enter will we be attacked? Is that a risk we should take? Maybe a UN intervention isn't the best option.
Maybe we can get more troops there from around Africa. This could work because they are natives and wouldn't pose as much of a threat as a western country would. They wouldn't be so called foreigners.
"The United States continues to support strengthening the African Union force in Darfur" This is all that we can do for now. To prevent another attack on America like 9/11 we must continue our support but not enter. Strengthening the African Union Troops is the best thing to do.

I am going to start this off with a quote from Sudan's own President Omar al-Bashir. He said "There is no humanitarian disaster. There is no famine. No epidemics. The number of dead is not even 9,000." Coming from someone who thinks that 56 Dafuri lives are equal to one arab life, this is not good. If you look at it 56 x 9,000 = 504,000, about the death toll now.So now we hae a humanitarian disaster. Even if he has killed only 9,000, it's still too many!
Since the start of the war many people have been housing the homeless and feeding the hungry and that is probably all we can do. Al-Bashir will not allow UN troops on his soil and he plans to keep it that way.
