		<title>Leave your home to bring them home</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Quite an idea, huh? Displace Me is happening April 28 in Kansas City for all of you who call the &#8220;mid-America&#8221; home (or temporary home because &#8220;the&#8221; J-school is in Missouri and you have to bear with it).
If you need a ride from Columbia, e-mail John Grotts at jrggx6@mizzou.edu. AIESEC is putting together a list [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=wasimba.wordpress.com&blog=913949&post=13&subd=wasimba&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>U.S. food aid is &#8220;inherently inefficient&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Debate is still raging on American food aid practices. It seems more voices are being raised against the sale of American-grown food in poor countries. The Government Accountability Office just came out with a report that calls it &#8220;inherently inefficient.&#8221; The issue is complicated but check out this article in the New York Times and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=wasimba.wordpress.com&blog=913949&post=11&subd=wasimba&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Invisible Children comes to Columbia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Invisible Children, the story of the children of Uganda who commute every night to safer zones so they are not abducted and forced to combat as child soldiers, is coming to the MU campus. Three representatives of this official tour will be present to answer questions and spark you to action. I haven&#8217;t seen it [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=wasimba.wordpress.com&blog=913949&post=10&subd=wasimba&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Today in Africa</title>
		<description><![CDATA[NEWS
Eritrea has banned female genital mutilation. Let&#8217;s now see how much of an effort the government puts in enforcing the ban.
A unity government is being formed in the Ivory Coast, which is supposed to bring the country to free and fair elections. New Prime Minister Guillaume Soro has announced his cabinet.
France charges 42 in connection [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=wasimba.wordpress.com&blog=913949&post=9&subd=wasimba&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Crisis in Darfur Expands</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Check out a very well-done multimedia presentation by The Washington Post&#8217;s Travis Fox on the conflict in Darfur spilling into Chad. This is a lesson in video journalism (Fox is no amateur) and yet another cry for help in Darfur. This is a month old, but unfortunately, it is still news.

		<title>The politics of hunger</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Once again a fascinating article by the New York Times, this time looking at how food aid is given to Zambia. The U.S. gives linked aid, which means the food given to countries in need is produced in the U.S. and transported by ships under the U.S. flag before getting to the people in need.

		<title>The Devil Came on Horseback</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Talk about a movie that sticks with you. I saw &#8220;The Devil Came on Horseback&#8221; at the True/False film festival in Columbia, Mo. a few weeks ago and can&#8217;t stop thinking about it. Director Annie Sundberg got a well-deserved standing ovation. The film premiered at Sundance and has been to a handful of festivals. If [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=wasimba.wordpress.com&blog=913949&post=5&subd=wasimba&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hollywood has been very interested in Africa lately. One movie that really stands out in my opinion is Blood Diamond. It doesn&#8217;t hurt either that the film has brought tons of attention to the issue of conflict diamonds.
The story takes place during the civil war in the mid 90s in Sierra Leone. The war has [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=wasimba.wordpress.com&blog=913949&post=4&subd=wasimba&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
