Sudan Peacekeeping Force

This may be good news:

Outgoing UN Secretary General Kofi Annan has said he believes Sudan is set to approve the deployment of a joint UN-African Union force in Darfur.

Until now, President Omar al-Bashir has consistently opposed any involvement of the UN in the western region.

However, Sudanese officials say the government has now accepted the idea of a "hybrid" force of peacekeepers, including UN personnel.

But Bashir has a history of apparently acceding to Western pressure only to backtrack later.

I don't think we should get too
