As pointed out in this article, a peace keeping operation alone cannot bring peace to Sudan and as such the UN should change direction and put maximum efforts to the only means to end the killings and sufferings in Sudan - negotiations and political solution. The UN should solve the problem in Sudan in the same way as the fighting in the Ireland was put to rest. To enable negotiations and political solution in Sudan, the UN, knowing surely the backers and suppliers of arms to the rebels in the Sudan, should prevail on such suppliers to stop their supply and give peace a chance. This is the only approach that will also stop the constant rebel offensives to which the government has to respond. So, the ball is in the court of the UN to give the people of Sudan a break!
