As for Dufar, why us? Why is the world waiting for us? Nigeria, Chad, Eygpt, South Africa, each could do the job by themselves. Why do they have to wait for the UN to do the right thing?
Ok why US or Europe? Simply because you have the clout to get UN mooving. Without US/Europe support countries like South Africa/ Egypt etc have no chance getting any resolution approved. In case of Darfur, even China/Russia may agree to go with you guys. Once you guys get the resolution passed, then other countries will contribute the troups. World is not looking for military intervention from US/Europe, but political and diplomatic intervention to ensure Blue helmets are deployed in Darfur. 45% of current UN peacekeeping force across the world come from Bangladesh, Pakistan, India and Nepal.

I do agree that countries in immediate region should take responsibility to resolve the conflict. South Africa, Egypt, Libya have the capability to do so, but I am not sure about the political will.
