Increasing Global Resilience: women becoming key players in peace movements
Women are doing a lot of work to create equality and peace throughout Africa, not to mention the rest of the world. What’s more, as women come together to fight for peace they cross political, religious, and tribal or clan lines that are often used as tools to perpetuate war. In Liberia Christian and Muslim women got together for the first time in the country’s history when they stood up and demanded peace. Somalia’s 6th clan is a crosscut of all clans representing all Somali women.

Being Honest About Somali Pirates
Johann Hari from Centre for Research on Globalization wrote an interesting and very revealing article on pirates and our war on Somali Pirates. Although stories about pirates in Somalia may no longer be new, this article is great.
Hari not only explains how Somalia became the center or modern day pirates and the reason behind the reason our ships might be looted, but he ties it all nicely into the history of pirates.
