Sudan knows better than all outsiders why there's a need for a UN Peace-Keeping Force in the Dafur region. We all know that the African Troops are insufficient and under-resourced for the new and urgent (even, dire) task at hand. No more delay, please.

Now is the time for Arab and African brethren to intervene and prevail on President al-Bashir. He is reported as vowing to block such a deployment as long as he is president. That is scary! China should also step in, considering its leverage with Khartoun. The consequences of failure in Darfur are grave, and should not be contemplated. We must have peace in Darfur.

Let all men and women of goodwill join the plea-train, today. Sudan should listen, and hearken.
Especially as it is helping to find a peaceful resolution in the Somalian crisis! We commend that move, and ask that it bolster the effort with a higher standing in international reckoning.

Give the UN a chance, please.
