UNAMID

UNAMID is the African Union/United Nations hybrid operation in Darfur. UNAMID is authorized to take measures supporting the Darfur Peace Agreement and to protect civilians. Under the current laws, operations will continue with UNAMID through July 31, 2009. Although goals were to have a full deployment of around 20,000 troops, they have not reached those numbers due to various factors, and continuously lack the proper equipment to carry out their duties.
