- A rebellion seems to be on the raise in Nigeria (Full) and Niger (Full)
- Relief agencies still don't have full access to the displaced civilians after the Tamil was defeated in Sri Lanka. (Full)
- Southern Sudan seems to fall back into violence (Full)
- ...while in Darfur, the war is flaring up again (Full)
