Anonymous writes "Somalia’s Transitional Federal Government and the opposition Alliance for the Re-liberation of Somalia signed a peace deal ending their conflict and calling on the United Nations to deploy an international peacekeeping force in the country."

Anonymous writes "Bosses of the United Nations have some discretion over what to focus on. For Kofi Annan, the previous secretary-general, the big issue was peacekeeping and conflict in poor countries. For the new one, Ban Ki-moon, it seems to be the environment and natural resources. Last year he threw his weight behind a declaration in Bali on climate change. Earlier this year he sounded the alarm about water. Now he wants collective action on food."
