News: Democracy Over Hatred (if only more often)

• This is cool: UNHCR and Google Earth joined forces. I haven’t yet spent time exploring this new tool, but it seems pretty neat…
• Kenya: A new rift developed between the president and prime minister-designate, threatening the country’s fragile peace agreement and resulting in renewed violence in Nairobi. The Kenyan case raises questions common to all conflict resolution processes—namely, even after a peace treaty is signed, how do you de-legitimize the use of violence as a political tool?

What will it take to convince people that violence in an unacceptable means to their ends?
• Zimbabwe: Speaking of violence…
• Argentina: An interesting article about the new Argentine ambassador to the US, whose father was tortured and killed during the country’s Dirty War. "This is a victory of democracy over hatred."
• South Africa: Geez.
