Ok so this article is really great, again it is on Darfur but there have been some recent developments in terms of predictions for the future:

"On 26 November, the International Crisis Group (ICG) launched a report cautioning that new dynamics in Darfur could result in an Arab insurgency. "

Facts:

"Since 2003, fighting that has pitted government forces and allied militia against rebel groups in Darfur has led to 200,000 deaths and the displacement of more than 2.2 million people."

News about current Peace Talks

And discussion of the Hybrid Forces:

"Guéhenno said the hybrid force still lacked critical mobility capabilities, including one heavy and one medium transport unit, made up of 18 helicopters; and one light tactical helicopter unit, comprising six helicopters.
In addition, Guéhenno said the Sudanese government, which has been reluctant to accept non-African units, had still not replied to UNAMID’s list of troop contributors."
