It is an amazing collection of inspiring moments, big and small, from Africa. The inspiration for this post was an article in Buzzfeed. Read on." UN Dispatch Transitional government on agenda for Syria talks Russia has signaled that it would support a transitional national unity government for Syria, one of the topics slated for discussion Saturday at a meeting called by United Nations-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan. It was unclear whether Russia would insist that such a body include President Bashar Assad. Iran and Saudi Arabia have been excluded from the nine-nation meeting, which is intended to revive the beleaguered peace plan earlier brokered by Annan. Reuters (6/27), The New York Times (tiered subscription model) (6/27)      UN to continue DR Congo peacekeeping mission The United Nations Security Council on Wednesday renewed the world body's 17,000-strong peacekeeping mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo, calling for the immediate cessation of "all outside support to all armed groups" in the country. A recent UN report accuses Rwandan officials of supporting armed groups linked to fugitive general Bosco Ntaganda.

Because women produce some 80% of local food, Coulibaly aims to create conditions to draw more women into agribusiness -- such as the distribution of sorghum and groundnut varieties adapted to the climate and locally produced.

Water taxes were increased, for example, but 25% collected is set aside for watershed-based services. Deforestation was banned, with landowners able to collect for forest-generated benefits. The Guardian (London)/Poverty Matters blog (6/26)        How China is running on chicken power Manure from the 3 million chickens that lay eggs at a farm on the outskirts of Beijing is being converted into electricity using technology that converts waste into methane gas. The chickens produce more than 200 tons of manure daily. BBC (6/24)        Other News $6,000 Mobius car designed for rural African roads BBC (6/27)      Can Ivorian militias in Liberia be stopped? War criminals and battle-hardened mercenaries continue to launch attacks in Cote d'Ivoire from neighboring Liberia, where many have fled since the Ivorian postelection crisis. Child soldiers ages 14 to 17 comprise as much as one-third of militias loyal to ousted President Laurent Gbagbo; such armed groups are considered responsible for the attack that killed 15 people this month, including seven United Nations peacekeepers.
