Jul 27, 2010	More Troops for Somalia, but No Peace to Keep QUOTE: If there is one place on the African continent that could benefit from new thinking, it is Somalia, a country that has been mired in mutating forms of civil war for nearly 20 years.	New York Times
Jun 25, 2010	Rare Haven of Stability in Somalia Faces a Test QUOTE: In this corner of Africa [Somaliland, the northwestern corner of Somalia], a free and open political rally — led, no less, by opposition leaders who could actually win — is an anomaly apparently worthy of celebration.	New York Times
Jun 13, 2010	Children Carry Guns for a U.S. Ally, Somalia QUOTE: According to Somali human rights groups and United Nations officials, the Somali government, which relies on assistance from the West to survive, is fielding hundreds of children or more on the front lines, some as young as 9.	New York Times
Nov 14, 2009	Forest People May Lose Home in Kenyan Plan QUOTE: The Kenyan government is gearing up to evict tens of thousands of settlers, illegal or not, from the Mau Forest, the Ogiek’s ancestral home and a critical water source for this entire country. The question is: Will the few thousand remaining Ogiek be given a reprieve or given the boot?	New York Times
Aug 04, 2009	Symbol of Unhealed Congo: Male Rape Victims QUOTE: For years, the thickly forested hills and clear, deep lakes of eastern Congo have been a reservoir of atrocities. Now, it seems, there is another growing problem: men raping men.	New York Times
May 23, 2009	For Somalia, Chaos Breeds Religious War QUOTE: a new axis of conflict has opened up in Somalia, an essentially governmentless nation ripped apart by rival clans since 1991. Now, in a definitive shift, fighters from different clans are forming alliances and battling one another along religious lines, with deeply devout men on both sides charging into firefights with checkered head scarves, assault rifles and dusty Korans.	New York Times
Jun 08, 2008	Albinos, Long Shunned, Face Threat in Tanzania QUOTE: Discrimination against albinos is a serious problem throughout sub-Saharan Africa, but recently in Tanzania it has taken a wicked twist: at least 19 albinos, including children, have been killed and mutilated in the past year, victims of what Tanzanian officials say is a growing criminal trade in albino body parts.	New York Times
May 24, 2008	A Conflict’s Buffer Zone: Rocks, and Inches QUOTE: The problem is, that sand happens to lie in a very strategic spot, at the mouth of the Red Sea. A war here could imperil some of the busiest shipping lanes in the world and alter the precarious balance of power in the Horn of Africa, a conflict-prone, drought-prone region that already is on the cusp of famine.	New York Times
Dec 15, 2007	Ethiopians Said to Push Civilians Into Rebel War QUOTE: The Ethiopian government, one of America’s top allies in Africa, is forcing untrained civilians — including doctors, teachers, office clerks and employees of development programs financed by the World Bank and United Nations — to fight rebels in the desolate Ogaden region, according to Western officials, refugees and Ethiopian administrators who recently defected to avoid being conscripted.	New York Times
Nov 20, 2007	As Somali Crisis Swells, Experts See a Void in Aid QUOTE: Top United Nations officials who specialize in Somalia said the country had higher malnutrition rates, more current bloodshed and fewer aid workers than Darfur, which is often publicized as the world’s most pressing humanitarian crisis and has taken clear priority in terms of getting peacekeepers and aid money.	New York Times
Nov 20, 2007	Separatist Rebels Accuse Ethiopia’s Military of Killing Civilians in Remote Region QUOTE: Separatist rebels fighting in the Ogaden region of Ethiopia accused the government on Monday of strafing nomads in recent days at a watering hole with helicopter gunships, killing up to a dozen civilians.	New York Times
Oct 07, 2007	Rape Epidemic Raises Trauma of Congo War QUOTE: Eastern Congo is going through another one of its convulsions of violence, and this time it seems that women are being systematically attacked on a scale never before seen here. According to the United Nations, 27,000 sexual assaults were reported in 2006 in South Kivu Province alone, and that may be just a fraction of the total number across the country.	New York Times
Nov 15, 2006	Annan Faults ‘Frightening Lack of Leadership’ for Global Warming QUOTE: "Secretary General Kofi Annan on Wednesday put the blame for global warming on “a frightening lack of leadership,” saying the poorest people in the world, who do not even create much pollution, bear the brunt of rising temperatures."	New York Times
Sep 05, 2006	Kenya Killings Put Aristocrat in Racial Fire QUOTE: White farmers in Kenya, an increasingly beleaguered and endangered species, are deeply sympathetic. They say that crime is out of control and the police are useless, and that the bush, however beautiful, is awash with guns...But black Kenyans see Mr. Cholmondeley’s situation differently, and worry that the days of white privilege may not be over. His absolution in the first case deepened their cynicism about an already suspect judiciary and ignited large protests.	New York Times
Mar 17, 2004	For Iraqis in Harm's Way, $5,000 and 'I'm Sorry' QUOTE: ...more than 5,000 civilians were killed between March 20, when the war started, and May 1, when major combat operations ended. "It says a lot that the military doesn't even keep track of these things..."	New York Times
May 20, 2003	Suit Charges Bias at Rally for Black Bikers QUOTE: "When the white bikers come to Myrtle Beach, the town rolls out the red carpet. When the black riders come, they roll it right up."	New York Times
Jan 21, 2003	Georgia Gov. in a Pickle Over Flag Pledge QUOTE: If the Confederate battle flag rises again above Georgia, it would be the first time since the civil rights movement that a Southern state has resurrected a symbol so painful to many.	New York Times
Nov 20, 2002	Suit Seeks to Block Burning of Chemical Arms QUOTE: The Army plans to begin destroying the weapons early next year. To stop the project, one of the issues the alliance must prove is that the weapons disposal poses an "imminent danger" to the community.	New York Times
