The Fight to Save Congo s Forests Christian
Parenti
The Nation, October
22,
2007.
The rainforests of the Congo Basin are home to an estimated
40
million people
who depend upon it for their traditional livelihoods. Ecologically, the rainforests also play a
major role in trapping carbon dioxide, a key culprit in global wanning. In recent years, the
future of the rainforest has been threatened by timber companies, often with the support of
development bodies such as the World Bank, that seek to harvest the valuable hardwoods the
forests contain. The Democratic Republic of the Congo has been unable to regulate the pres¬
sure on the forests due to the lack of an effective plan for forest management and widespread
corruption. The leaders in the fight to preserve the forests are frequently small, non-profit,
non-govemmental organizations.

How Can Somalia Really Be Fixed? Sean M. Maloney Maclean s, January
29,
2007.
The strategic location of Somalia on the Horn of Africa has long made the country
important to world affairs. It has become even more so in the post-9/1
1
world as many west-
em experts believe that Somalia s political instability makes it an important training ground
and transit point for Islamic terrorists. Determining the correct response to the perceived
threat is complicated, and is likely to concern not only Somalia, but also her non-Islamic
neighbor Ethiopia as well as the African Union.

Glaciers Are Dying Charles Hanley The Tomnto Star, December
26,2006.
The
snow and ice that surrounds the highest mountain peaks in East Africa, including the famous
snows of Kilimanjaro is disappearing at an alarming rate. Snow cover in the Rwenzori
Mountains is estimated to be less than a quarter of what it was a century ago, and some predic¬
tions indicate it may completely disappear within the next two decades. The causes are com¬
plex, but global wanning is thought to be an important contributing factor. The consequences
are likely to be severe for both natural ecosystems and the rural communities that depend on
run-off from the snows for their water supply.

Upwardly Mobile in Africa Jack Ewing BusinessWeek, September
13,
2007.
Mobile phones are changing the developing world faster than anyone would have
imagined a decade ago and nowhere has the impact been more dramatic than in Africa, where
such technology often represents the first modem infrastructure of any kind. As this article
reports, mobile phones can dramatically improve living standards, even for people living on
just a few dollars a day.

Kick Start Eve Fairbanks The New Republic, December
4, 2009.
South
Africa was ecstatic when it was selected by FIFA (the world soccer federation) as the venue
for the
2010
World Cup. As this article suggests, however, the country faces major challenges
in terms of infrastructure, security, and public attitudes if it is to be ready for its highest
profile public event since the end of white-minority rale in
1994. 279

Inside Cape Town Joshua Hammer Smithsonian Magazine, April
2008.
Cape Town is a city of surpassing natural beauty and economic growth and in recent years
has assumed the appearance of a thriving, prosperous metropolis. However, as the author
notes, while all this may be true, the city still struggles to overcome the racial divides separat¬
ing blacks, whites, and coloreds that is one of the legacies of the Apartheid era.

The Ultimate Crop Rotation Stephanie McCrummen The Washington Post,
November
23, 2009.
Increasingly, foreign investors for the developed world are purchas¬
ing or leasing prime agricultural land in sub-Saharan Africa in order to secure their own food
supplies. Ethiopia, in an effort to attract much needed foreign currency, has been particularly
aggressive in promoting this trend. Concern exists over what this will mean for Ethiopia,
however, which is currently facing problems with its own food security.

Forget Depp: Somali Pirates Risk All for Riches, Women Shashank Bengali
The Christian Science Monitor, December
19, 2008.
With soaring food prices,
deep poverty, and the collapse of local governmental authority, piracy offers young Somali
men one of the few opportunities by which they can get rich quick. Piracy is risky but the
payoffs can be huge, bringing millions of dollars to coastal pirate towns and status to those
who are successful.

Breaking with Past, South Africa Issues Broad AIDS Policy
Celia
W.
Dugger
The New York Times, December
1, 2009.
Following more than a decade in which
South Africa has lagged behind the rest of the continent in efforts to combat AIDS, primarily
due the policies of former president Thabo Mbeki, the country s current president, Jacob
Zuma
has announced implementation of an aggressive
anti
-АШѕ
policy, aimed primarily at
women and infants. Zuma s policy has been praised by ant-AIDS advocates who were deeply
frustrated under the Mbeki administration. 2SQ

In Obama s Rise, Kenyans See Lessons for Africa Scott Baldauf The Chris¬
tian Science Monitor, January
20, 2009.
The election of President Barak
Obama
was closely watched throughout much of sub-Saharan Africa. Partly this was the result of
home-town pride (Obama s father was Kenyan), but for many it also has a broader meaning
serving as an inspiration and example for struggling democracies across the continent This
article highlights African reactions to, and reflections on. President Obama s inauguration.

At a time of religious revival across the Muslim world Alge¬

youth are in play. The focus of this contest is the schools, where for decades Islamists
controlled what children learned, and how they learned. Now the government is
