According to the United Nations, up to 300,000 people have died in the Darfur conflict, and more than 2.2 million have fled their homes since rebels and militias started fighting in February 2003. Today, the governments of Chad and Sudan announced that they plan to deploy troops along their common border to observe and prevent cross-border incursions by armed groups. However, Chad and Sudan have been accused of supporting the very same rebels and militias.

Military Intervention

Overall international military intervention in this crisis has been minimal, although it has increased over the past few months. For example, an Egyptian infantry battalion today began deploying in Darfur as part of the African Union peacekeeping mission there. However, analysts point out that African Union troops have received little funding and logistical support. They have previously come under attack with little ability to respond. In Chad, more than 3,000 European Union troops are deployed in the border area to protect refugees. However, the EU force does not engage armed groups unless they are attacked directly.
