Sudanese helicopters and planes attack innocent villagers in Darfur. despite a United Nations order not to fly over Darfur. The African Union Mission in Sudan. which has 7.000 peacekeepers in Darfur. has made a valiant effort to provide security and assist the people of Darfur. Nonetheless. the African Union peacekeepers are not able even to defend themselves. much less the two million refugees and internally displaced persons fleeing the violence. This mission is obviously unprepared and illequipped to press for and verify the implementation of the May 5 peace agreement. Sudan appears to be waiting to see whether the international community will again just lament the crisis and make hollow threats. or is now ready and willing to take concrete steps.
