The UN tends not to involve itself in civil wars unless and until it becomes a state versus state conflict. Darfur is a war between neighboring people of the same race, religion, and cultural background. The UN figures, correctly perhaps, that is for local people to resolve. If the AU was stronger and less corrupt, then it could answer the call effectively. The best case scenario would be for that organization to take control of the situation - not the UN. Instead, the AU is a laughing stock.
