Darfur: The Possibility of Peace?

 Over recent weeks the possibility for peace has edged nearer, although negotiations in Abuja have been fraught with problems. As things currently stand, the government of Sudan has signed the Darfur Peace Agreement (DPA) together with the SLA/M Minni Minnawi faction. The remaining faction of the SLA/M headed by Abdelwahid Al Nur and the smaller Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) have still to sign. They are holding out for improved compensation and greater guarantees over security.

 Darfur needs peace. But this peace must be sustainable and perhaps most importantly implementable. These are serious obstacles, since without a roadmap to peace it is easy for the Government of Sudan (GoS) to regress into its appalling human rights record leaving the people of Darfur without any real recourse to justice. More importantly, without a serious roadmap to peace, failures in the proposed peace agreement may be read as a license to stray off the path of peace with a resulting descent into political disorder.  The International community must therefore step up and ensure that adequate peace keeping measures are put in place. This means a UN peace keeping force since all other possibilities have already demonstrably failed.
