THE sight of a Congolese warlord, Bosco Ntaganda, at the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague on March 26th is a sign of progress. But a lot more diplomacy and international coercion will be required to bring a durable peace to the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Mr Ntaganda gave himself up at the American embassy in neighbouring Rwanda on March 18th. He apparently feared being killed,

Mikati couldn’t hack it any more
IN THEORY Lebanon is an independent republic and in theory a democracy, which in theory rests upon a fair division of spoils between some 17 officially recognised religious “sects”.

BUSINESSMEN in Zimbabwe like to say that local roads may be terrible but, unlike in some neighbouring countries, at least they exist. This glass-half-full attitude may explain the surprising enthusiasm with which Zimbabweans turned out on March 16th to endorse a new constitution.The revised rulebook has its flaws. It keeps the government on a tighter leash, but is still short on checks. The refer

Shoulders and posteriors in action
THE brightly lit bars lining alleys off Bole Road in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia’s capital, come to life around midnight. Folk melodies mix with electronic beats. Customers wiggle posteriors and rotate shoulders in fast dance-bursts derived from traditional music. Some disappear with hand-holding waitresses through a narrow door to a “kissing room”, only to return a

Walk like an Egyptian
POLICE brutality was a big reason why angry Egyptians took to the streets on January 25th 2011, the first day of their revolution. Within days they had routed the riot-control units. For months afterwards the country’s omnipresent security services were in disarray and sullenly promised to mend their ways. But, two years later, it is increasingly evident that little has re

“MAKE no mistake about it,” said a senior Israeli official preparing for the arrival on March 20th of Barack Obama on a three-day visit. “Iran will be front and centre of the discussions between the president and Mr Netanyahu.” The dangers to the region from the bloody Syrian civil war and the need to revive the comatose peace process with the Palestinians were also high on the agenda during f

A GROUP of five tourists from Beijing passes low over Mount Kenya and into the Rift Valley in their private plane before landing on a dusty airstrip surrounded by the yellow trunks and mist-like branches of fever trees. They walk across a grassy opening where zebras and giraffes roam, snapping pictures while keeping an eye out for charging buffaloes. When they sit down at a table, they seem hu

USING clever software to get access to his censored Facebook account, a young Iranian in Tehran posts an advertisement for his one-year-old Peugeot 206. Within minutes a stranger calls and they negotiate a price more than double what he paid for it new. “Everyone in Iran is putting their money into cars,” he explains. “They move up with the dollar so it is one of the few safe places for people to
