Dec 1, 2008 Africa: Ending AIDS?
"The [WHO] findings suggest that HIV transmission could be
virtually eliminated by 2020 in countries with high levels of HIV
prevalence, such as South Africa, if it were possible to persuade
everyone in the community to test for HIV infection once a year and
then provide antiretroviral therapy to all who test HIV-positive.
... [But there are many questions that require answers before such
a strategy could be implemented.]" - HIV & AIDS Treatment in
Practice

Nov 22, 2008 Somalia: Piracy and the Policy Vacuum
"While the responsibility for this crisis [in Somalia] lies first
and foremost with the Somali leadership, the international
community, principally the U.S. government and members of the UN
Security Council, has also failed ... They have failed repeatedly
to take a principled engagement to solve the crisis, acknowledge
the power realities on the ground, support peace negotiations
without imposing external agendas, or provide independent
humanitarian assistance." - Refugees International
Nov 18, 2008 USA/Africa: Reflections on the Transition
"The problem [with projections of President-elect Obama's foreign
policy priorities] is that for a new leader promising change, they
have tended to reflect the most traditional sorts of Washington
priorities, neglecting other parts of the world that are starving
for American moral and political leadership; places where Obama, by
virtue of his unique background, offers particularly compelling
potential for impact. ... The most obvious and important omission
...is Africa, a continent of nearly one billion people today that
according to United Nations projections will count an astounding
two billion people by mid-century." - Howard W. French
