Despite what many consider an ongoing genocide in Darfur, the United Nations peacekeeping force continues to be delayed. The force officially replaced the incapable African Union force on January 1, 2008, but so far has only deployed 9,000 of an anticipated 26,000. The remainder are expected at the end of the year, but help cannot get to Darfur fast enough. Only time will tell if the force will be able to overcome bureaucracy, Sudanese government resistance, and the unwillingness of many nations to send troops to the conflict. Meanwhile, the people of Darfur suffer.
