UN Dispatch UN urges Sudan, rebels not to obstruct aid More "needless" suffering and displacement will be heaped upon people in the Sudanese states of South Kordofan and Blue Nile if the government and rebels don't allow aid workers to reach the estimated 900,000 people ensnared by the conflict, said John Ging of the United Nations relief agency. "We hear incredibly alarming stories about people having to rely on roots and leaves," Ging said. The Washington Post/The Associated Press (1/8), The New York Times (tiered subscription model) (1/8)      UN plans to test drones above conflict-torn DR Congo At least three surveillance drones could be launched by the United Nations in an effort to test the technology and bolster peacekeeping operations in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. China and Rwanda, the latter of which has been accused of supporting M23 rebels in DR Congo, are among critics, saying drones could expose nations to foreign control over the intelligence they gather. The Washington Post (1/8), Reuters (1/9), AlertNet/Reuters (1/8)      Rwanda's rising star begins to flicker Rwanda took its seat last week at the United Nations Security Council. However, its international reputation is suffering, Jason Straziuso writes, because of accusations that it is suppressing dissent domestically and arming rebels in neighboring Democratic Republic of Congo.

Still, divorce remains a largely taboo -- and dangerous -- solution in Pakistan. A rights group says that at least 1,636 so-called "honor killings" of women were committed last year.
