The Sudan government doesn't want non-african troops in the UN force sent there, although the UN has sufficient troops from non-african countries for this mission. The AU is claiming that it has enough troops but is waiting for money from the UN.
I'd be surprised to see significant improvement in Sudan any time soon.

They are supposedly to be sent by December 2007. We will see if this happens. It seems as though the world really doesn't care what is happening to these people. The U.S. is sending food, not enough food, only enough to keep them alive. They need to have homes & hope for the future. Today they have neither. According to 60 Minutes, the U.S. is doing nothing because the President of Sudan, who wants the gonocide to continue, is feeding us bits of information about Osama. So, according to them, our government is willing to lets thousands a day die in hopes of capturing one man! If this is true, it is unbelievable!

The UN doesn't have a standing force it can order about willy nilly. It has to request member states to supply the troops. In most situations, they never do get all the troops promised for one reason or another.
I'm no fan of the UN, but I feel kind of bad for them. Since they have no forces and no authority to order states to supply troopps and equipment, they are ineffectual morons that we have to "bail out". But if they try and actually get the power to do these type missions, people start screaming "one world goverment!" and "affront to national sovenreignty!". They are kind of in a rock and a hard place.

UN = Impotence
They will do nothing unless their guard dog "United States" is backing them up with the full might of their military.
The US is busy right now so the UN does not have military intervention as an option.
This is also one of the reasons the UN doesnt like it when the US actually uses its military without their permission. When the US does the UN has less authority and control.
