PROGRESS ON DEMARCATING THE BORDER BETWEEN NIGERIA AND CAMEROON
- ANNAN
New York, Oct 6 2006 5:00PM
The situation remains calm on the border between
Nigeria and Cameroon as steady progress is made in demarcating
their common boundary, Secretary-General Kofi Annan says in his
latest update on the work of the commission charged with
overseeing the peaceful transfer of the once-disputed oil-rich
Bakassi Peninsula.
In a letter to the Security Council detailing the work of the
Cameroon-Nigeria Mixed Commission, Mr. Annan says about 462
kilometres of the border have been demarcated so far, although
there have been some delays to that progress. He quotes UN
civilian observers as reporting that the situation along the
border is calm. Nigeria formally withdrew from the peninsula and
transferred authority to Cameroon in August, in line with the
Greentree Agreement signed by the two countries in June.

Success
of Islamist Courts in Somalia Raises Questions About Future

October 2006
..Prunier believes that, while Somalia
appears to be crumbling on the surface, it may yet be
possible to find a workable solution to the nation's
seemingly endless cycle of conflict. However, he says, that
solution might be to allow Somalia to become an Islamic
Republic. "I think if the internal dynamics of the Islamic
courts are helped, channeled, manipulated in the right
direction, you could end up with an Islamic Republic that
you could live with," he says.
