By: UNHCR; Full article may be read here

Blogger Comment: The Central African Republic has been the one to watch as a high conflict risk for several years now. This news is especially alarming given the recent influx of refugees into Chad, already relatively unstable, from Darfur. Is the whole subregion going to implode?

Purpose

We read a lot of news, daily. We each have individual interests and specific sets of passions that are unique. The goal of the blog is to compile the best of your daily readings in order to share with our fellow classmates, our networks, etc. Ideally, this blog will combine our knowledge and perspective. Thus, the more posts we have the more diverse the range. In that sense, we will be sharing what we find fascinating in order to learn what others do as well...If successful, we will end up with our own daily newspaper of sorts.

Don't be afraid to post early and often. The site will thrive with the more number of students. So get more students involved!
