The UN Security Council is to send 10,000 peacekeeping troops to southern Sudan to monitor compliance with the peace agreement signed earlier this year. The agreement ended a 21-year civil war between the Khartoum government and South Sudanese rebels. Two million people were killed and at least four million people were driven from their homes during the conflict.

The Security Council has not yet reached a decision on the deployment of troops in the troubled Sudanese region of Darfur. A commission of 15 UN experts has urged the UN to intervene immediately. They say at least 10,000 people die in Darfur every month.
