Here's some of the solution in Darfur,

which I'd seen before and lost track of(I'm gonna start writing stuff down), Militia keeps violence in Darfur at bay:
GUSA JAMAT, Sudan --One corner of Sudan's violent Darfur region is green and peaceful in this post-rainy season thanks to a powerful village militia that has kept the fighting around it at bay for more than a year.

Go read the damn thing. Contrast that with this:
"You have been here for three years now, and what have you done for us?" a tribal leader bitterly asked a delegation of AU soldiers and police that came to the Kassab refugee camp last week.

As they often must, the peacekeepers patiently explained to camp delegates that they had come to Darfur only to monitor the violence and have no mandate to fight it.


So on one side you've got people with arms who've kicked the ass of the murdering raping slavers, and on the other people depending on 'peacekeepers' who do nothing but stand there and watch.

To use the words of Bruce at mAss Backwards:
