According to an article released today on the BBC entitled War in Sudan’s Darfur ‘is over’, the United Nations military commander has effectively reported that “the real problem is now political”. According to U.N. facts released in the article, the war in Darfur has resulted in the deaths or 300’000 people despite differing claims from the local government, but despite the appearance of a break from the calamity, some people are still being victimized. According to General Martin Agwai, “[b]anditry” and “localised issues” are among the main issues remaining. In conclusion despite signs of a more peaceful period free from the level of conflicts recorded in past Sudanese history, people still need support and despite the fact that some believe the United Nations to be useless, it is the best peacekeeping organization we have. Without which many would be without the aid needed to overcome the issues confronting them and without which awareness would not be so great.
