UN Dispatch World powers are careful in response to Mali The political vacuum in Mali is complicating international efforts to muster a military force to expel Islamist rebels who seized northern territories this year. Such an intervention "could have significant humanitarian consequences, including further displacement and restrictions on humanitarian access," United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Wednesday. Reuters (9/27), Google/Agence France-Presse (9/26)        Israeli leader to present UN with Iran "red lines" Benjamin Netanyahu, prime minister of Israel, is expected today to advocate for conditions that would prompt an attack on Iranian nuclear facilities. A spokesman for the Iranian government needed police protection after he was confronted by protesters near the United Nations building, while a new report by the Israeli government said international sanctions against Iran are working.

ForeignPolicy.com/Turtle Bay blog (9/25)      Echoes of Wilson in Obama's UN address? Praise has been pouring in for U.S. President Barack Obama's speech Tuesday before the United Nations. "Using the life and death of Chris Stevens, the late U.S. Ambassador in Libya, as his narrative frame, Obama delivered a stirring defense of tolerance, democracy, and peaceful co-existence -- the very things on which the U.N. is based," writes John Cassidy in The New Yorker, adding that the text reminded him of another U.S. president, Woodrow Wilson. The New Yorker (free content)/Rational Irrationality blog (9/26)        Life aboard Delhi's Mosquito Terminator train The Malaria Express train -- now called the Mosquito Terminator -- has been reducing malaria and dengue fever for more than 10 years by spraying anti-larval agents to kill mosquitoes along tracks traversing the Indian capital, New Delhi. The job carries risks, but, for several months each year -- after the monsoons to the beginning of winter -- workers say they have a view of the city like no other: "It is like heaven, especially if the weather is good."

Sudan to Sudan Exports of oil from South Sudan to Sudan would resume under a deal reached Wednesday between presidents of the two African countries. While the agreement falls short of a comprehensive deal advocated by the United Nations, which has suggested sanctions could occur, it establishes a demilitarized zone along the disputed border and enables South Sudan to resume oil production and exports suspended unilaterally in January.
