1. There are more reports of massacres and heavy fighting in the Central African Republic. Yesterday, Chad threw its critical political weight behind the idea of a UN peacekeeping mission yesterday, hopefully bringing this essential move one step closer to being realized. Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) yesterday blasted the international community for failing to protect the population. 
3. The government of Sierra Leone and a London-based mining company that is the country’s largest private employer have undermined villagers’ access to food and prevented workers from challenging abusive practices, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today.
