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. 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. 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. Watch the following clip...
