Solving+the+Problem

Compromise Reached, Peace Efforts Falter Unfortunately, the Sudanese government rejected Resolution 1706, effectively putting the UN between a rock and a hard place:in the entire history of the United Nations, no peacekeeping mission had ever failed to deploy once authorized by the Security Council. Since this proposal was declined over three quarters of the tutsi population has been killed. Also as a result thousands of Hutu were slain because they opposed the killing campaign and the forces directing it.

Since the proposal was declined a compromise was sought to bridge this impasse, and the result was the 26,000 strong hybrid UN-AU peacekeeping force known as UNAMID (United Nations African Mission in Darfur), authorized unanimously by the Security Council on July 31, 2007, which is just now in its initial stages of generation and deployment. That a compromise was reached is good, and that the Sudanese government has agreed to accept that compromise (and the UNAMID mission) is even better. The vast majority of the peacekeepers are not on the ground yet, however.
