This article was focused around the DRC president's quick speech given to the UN on terrorism and Ebola affecting global development and of course the development of his own nation. He stressed the DRC's policy of peace keeping and how the situation against terrorism is not in their favor right now. This article basically reinforced everything I just learned about the DRC including their terrorism and Ebola problems.

This article is about war-torn areas in general, although they do mention the DRC specifically through their population displacement and the effects of war on women. This article was pretty short, but it really supplied the message that Africa is still dealing with the past and current effects of war and will continue to be for some time to come.

This article states that the Prime Minister declared recently that the Ebola Outbreak is soon to be over with.

This news article is another on Zimbabwe's massive debt, but this time the debt lies with China. They recently paid China $180 million of a loan taken years ago to keep China on their side.

This article described Zimbabwe's financial situation which is that they owe the International Monetary Fund (IMF) $142 million and they can not loan Zimbabwe anymore money until the current debt is paid of. This really opened my eyes to how serious the debt of African nations is.

This article highlights that besides the war, famine is also a huge issue in Somalia right now. The article blames the poverty cause by the drought on Somalia's unstable government which has not been stable for many years now. This article actually brought famine to my attention as another major predicament facing Somalia currently.
