MOVING FORWARD IN SUDAN


The Sudan referendum now underway will likely result in the south's independence, but unresolved disputes and population shifts require continued intense diplomatic and humanitarian engagement by the Obama administration says CFR's John Campbell.

RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE IN PAKISTAN


In this Expert Brief, CFR's Ed Husain explains why the killing of Punjab's governor, Salman Taseer, was symptomatic of widespread religious intolerance and fanaticism in Pakistan.

BRACING FOR INDICTMENTS IN LEBANON


Pending indictments in a UN tribunal are expected to link Hezbollah and Syria to the assassination of former Lebanese prime minister Rafik Hariri. In this CFR Interview, Lebanon expert Michael Young says all sides, including Saudi Arabia and the United States, are scrambling to deal with the impact of the findings.

REBUILDING HAITI


Can Haiti rebuild better, with improved stability and prosperity? In this CFR Expert Roundup, four top experts stress different approaches to enable Haitians to rebuild and sustain their economy and public sector.

EGYPT'S COPT CRISIS


The recent bombing of a Coptic Church in Egypt underscores deep sectarian tensions and reflects the need for a more open and tolerant society, says Steven Cook in this CFR podcast, but Egypt's government continues to ignore underlying political causes.

SADR'S RETURN TO IRAQ


Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's return to Iraq after a three-year self-imposed exile in Iran reaffirms his commitment to the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraqi soil and the transition of his group from a militia to a powerful political force, says CFR's Mohamad Bazzi.
