Security & Political Dialogue: October 2004 59 Appendix G The focus turns away from sanctions tow ards the AU and ex panding the force. The UN Security Council secures an agreement from Sudan for an ex panded force and mandate. Substantial support is pledged for the ex panded AU force. Because attacks onv illages decreased in frequency tow ards the end of September and the beginning of October, some players in the international community made statements w hich assumed the situation w as improv ing and inadv ertently dumbed dow n the urgency of the situation. How ever, increased attacks later in the month showed the need for security w as as dire as ev er. With increased attacks on aid convoys, and their refusal to sign humanitarian agreements before an agreement on security is reached, criticism of rebels increases. New Information: In their report back to the Security Council, Louise Arbour, Head of UNHCHR, and Juan Mendez, UN Special Advisor on the Prevention of Genocide, state that Sudan's efforts to bring security to Darfur had been inadequate and that the authorities did not command the trust and confidence of those they promised to protect. Latest situation: The security situation deteriorates throughout the month w ith the number of attacks against IDPs on the increase. There are a number of instances of aerial attack. Towards the end of the month concerns grow about forced return of IDPs. The ceasefire is deemed not to be holding. Sudan claims to be in full control of the situation. Peace Talks: The GoS states it supports a federal system but refuses self-rule. Peace talks resume tow ards the end of the month. Deadlock ov er security talks, w ith impasse ov er SLA/JEM demands for no-fly zones prov ing particularly difficult to ov ercome.

International Organisations UN SC: Conducts closed door meeting with the Sudanese foreign minister after w hich he agrees to accept an ex panded mandate for the AU mission and 3,500 troops. Annan reports no positiv e action by the GoS to restore security in Darfur. UN offers administrativ e help in setting up AU force. Kofi Annan says EU must contribute more to peacekeeping, particularly in Sudan. States the ceasefire is not holding. Sets up Panel for the Commission of Inquiry . Warns rebels against v iolating the ceasefire agreement. Arab League: Ex presses wish for Arab troops to be included in the expanded AU force. A number of Arab League Members – Egypt, Chad, Liby a and Sudan alongw ith Nigeria – hold a mini-summit to discuss solutions to the Darfur crisis. Concludes that foreign interv ention is unwelcome. AU: Peace and Security Council agrees expansion of the AU force in Darfur to 3,320 for 1 y ear at a cost of $221 million.

UK: Tony Blair visits Sudan and presses Al Bashir on endingv iolence in Darfur. Reminded that the threat of sanctions remained if Sudan failed to bring an end to the conflict. Blair demanded the AU troop contingent be boosted, that the gov ernment provide the locations of its troops in Darfur, pull them back in conjunction w ith a rebel w ithdraw al, commit to an overall peace agreement for Sudan by the end of 2004, and abide by signed UN humanitarian protocols.
