Abstract:Since its deployment in Darfur in 2004, the African Union Mission in Sudan (AMIS) has managed to achieve a semblance of stability in much of the area, which has been reflected in the improvement of humanitarian conditions. At the same time, the mission has come under serious international pressure to respond appropriately to the deteriorating security situation on the ground by enhancing its presence and effectiveness. Subsequently, following the decisions of the AU Peace and Security Council, AMIS has undertaken two successive enhancements. Meanwhile, serious challenges continue to undermine the mission's effectiveness and its prospects, not the least of these obstacles being adequate funding. At present, the mission is in a dilemma with respect to its mandate, engaging with the parties, partners, implementation of the N'Djamena Humanitarian Ceasefire Agreement (HCFA), and the way forward, as the AU is now almost totally dependent on external donations to sustain its Darfur operations. The article explores the way forward in all these areas in order to make policy recommendations for the AU and UN. Notes, ref., sum. [Journal abstract]
