Still no helicopters for Darfur peacekeepers
The joint United Nations/African Union peacekeeping force in Darfur still has no helicopters, despite persistent appeals over the past 18 months.

 Nations who possess helicopters claim they have none to contribute because they are deployed in other conflict zone such as Afghanistan. The international community has supported the peacekeepers with troops, training and plenty of words but will not donate a single one of the 24 copters so desperately needed.

Only Ethiopia has agreed to supply 5 helicopters, to be delivered in October.
