DARFUR, SUDAN: THE IMPACT ON CHAD AND THE REGION
A SOUTH AFRICAN SLUM DWELLER FULL OF ACTION

As a tense deadlock develops between the government of Sudan and the international community over the deployment of UN peacekeepers to Darfur, we examine how the insecurity and instability from Darfur is already spreading far beyond borders of Sudan. "From Darfur they have crossed to Chad. They have gone across the border to Central African Republic and now they get into the borders between the Central African Republic and Cameroon. This should not be allowed to continue," says the UN's top man in Chad, Kingsley Amaning. Full Amaning Interview: Real Audio MP3

Rose Molokoane is one of the most vocal and articulate international voices for people living in slums. In her own South African she has succeeded in getting her minister of housing to put more money into slum upgrading and development. Why was her advocacy group named FED-UP? "We are fed up of homelessness, we are fed up of landlessness, we are fed up of poverty. So we want to deal with these issues accordingly."

SUDAN - SECURITY COUNCIL VOTES TO DEPLOY TROOPS TO DARFUR: WHY DID CHINA, RUSSIA AND QATAR ABSTAIN? AND WHAT ABOUT THE KHARTOUM GOVERNMENT'S OPPOSITION?

A divided UN Security Council votes to authorize the deployment of UN peacekeepers to Sudan's troubled Darfur region. But the government of Sudan remains defiant and opposed to this UN move."We need a UN force on the ground yesterday. And we are frustrated more and more by the day by seeing that we do not get a UN force which could protect the civilian population and which could also protect the humanitarian work,"says Jan Egeland, the UN’s Emergency Relief and Humanitarian Coordinator.

And, the views of the Security Council President for August, Nana Effah-Appenteng of Ghana, "Although the resolution is not a magic wand that would heal the situation in Darfur overnight, its passage nonetheless is timely and gives the Sudanese government an opportunity to cooperate with the UN."
