      Frustrations build over Myanmar

      United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon expressed disappointment Monday that Myanmar's military leadership has ignored UN efforts to foster democracy. There is also some continuing consternation over post-cyclone aid, which has benefited only a small proportion of those in need, even as the UN seeks to double the amount of aid donated so far. The New York Times (10/21) , AlertNet.org/Reuters (10/21)



      You have to say that the traditional relationship that Bolivia had with the United States...has come to an end.

      Bolivia minister of the presidency Juan Ramón Quintana. Read the full story.



      UN Dispatch: Staff of UN aid agencies and NGOs have come under increasing deliberate attack in Somalia and Afghanistan in recent months, as well as in other countries and regions plagued by conflict, such as the Darfur region of western Sudan. In a report released earlier this month on staff security, Mr. Ban called for collective responsibility and closer collaboration between the UN and its Member States to better protect UN staff and other humanitarian workers.

      UN Dispatch


      United Nation
      • UN uncovers $20 million in corrupt contracts in latest case
        An internal UN investigation has interrupted a $20 million corruption scheme that involves air charter services from Congo, office supplies from Kenya, consulting jobs from Greece, and payroll services from New York. The five international cases are the latest in the three-year investigation into a fraud epidemic that has uncovered $630 million in compromised contracts. The Washington Post (10/21)
      Development Health and Poverty
      • Food and financial crises take a toll on MDG progress
        African Union Commission Chairman Jean Ping said many African nations will not meet their UN Millennium Development Goals due to high food and gas prices. Though gas prices have declined recently, soaring food prices -- which have pushed some 100 million people into poverty -- stand to remain high. The MDGs also include targets for reducing disease, combating child mortality, and addressing other chronic problems. AlertNet.org/Reuters (10/21)

      • Hundreds of Nigerians on death row confessed under torture
        Amnesty International reports that hundreds of prisoners on death row in Nigeria were sentenced based on evidence that was extracted through torture. Nearly 80% of inmates report being beaten, threatened, or tortured during their detentions. BBC (10/21)

      Peace and Security
      • Political squabbling breeds cynicism in Ukraine
        In a move that has signaled the fragile state of the government propelled to power by the so-called Orange Revolution, Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko has again called for parliamentary elections, a move opposed by Prime Minister Julia Tymoshenko, his fierce rival. Tymoshenko has suggested that the International Monetary Fund predicate an aid package of some $14 billion for the beleaguered state on Yushchenko's canceling the election. As financial crisis in Ukraine deepens and relations with Russia grow chillier, cynicism is setting in among both Ukraine MPs and voters. The Independent (London) (10/21)
      • Pakistan in talks with IMF for multi-billion support package
        Hoping to avoid a fiscal crisis stemming from the global financial crisis, Pakistan is in talks with the International Monetary Fund about receiving a $10 billion to $15 billion support package to stabilize its economy. The IMF estimates Pakistan's fiscal shortfall at $3 billion to $4 billion annually. The scale of the support package represents international fears about the prospect of collapse in Pakistan, a nuclear nation where terrorists and extremists are active. Financial Times (10/20)
      • Egypt authors Fatah-Hamas unity government draft plan
        Talks in Egypt with 13 different Palestinian organizations led to Egypt's draft plan for peace that calls for the formation of a unity government, combining elements of Fatah and Hamas. Fatah has said that any new government resolution must adhere to previous agreements struck with Israel, a condition that Hamas rejects. BBC (10/21)
      • Right-wing Indian politician arrested for instigating violence
        Indian police arrested Raj Thackeray, the leader of the right-wing Maharashtra Navnirman Sena party, after he incited followers to attack north Indian migrants hoping to attend a job recruitment program. The right-wing party is violently opposed to the presence of Indian immigrants in the western state of Maharashtra, where they are blamed for taking jobs and undermining wages. Financial Times (10/21)
