The Washington Post says the peacekeeping operation in Darfur is hobbled by inadequate numbers and equipment as well as bureaucratic hurdles:

Logistical and bureaucratic obstacles imposed by the Sudanese government, which has tried to block the force from the start, have prevented the full deployment of the new battalions. But Western nations that pushed for the force have also caused delays by failing to provide basic equipment — including helicopters, armored personnel carriers and trucks — that the African countries providing most of the troops cannot afford. Officials say it costs about $45 million to equip one battalion.
