UN Peace Missions Falter in Africa

UNITED NATIONS - The United Nations remains virtually crippled as two proposed peacekeeping missions -- one in Darfur and the other in Somalia -- are making little or no progress.

Since 2004, the Security Council has adopted seven resolutions related to Darfur, where the ongoing conflict has claimed the lives of more than 200,000 civilians, and reduced over 2.2 million to the status of refugees or internally displaced persons.

In Somalia, the civil war, which began in 1991, has destabilised the country despite 14 peace agreements.
