NEW DELHI (IDN) – Osama bin Laden’s killing was a high point in America’s Afghan strategy. Buoyed by the success of Op Geronimo, it appeared that the U.S. might be able to craft a successful exit strategy.

African demographics are at the start of a long-term trend that will most likely trigger high gross domestic product (GDP) growth in the region for the next decade or two. A by-product of this is likely to be more democracy. Studies show that as GDP increases, the likelihood of democracies becoming autocracies fades and the likelihood of autocracies becoming democracies increases. This holds true for all nations, bar those with a very high GDP per capita where the wealth is derived from a single resource such as oil.

MONTEVIDEO (IDN) – The storm that threatens the global economy has been raging ever since the toxic assets crisis started five long years ago. That crisis has not ended, or receded, but transformed into multiple crises: from fiscal deficit and sovereign debt to poverty, unemployment and the rise in food and fuel prices. Nevertheless, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) had to get its face wet to take note of the storm and rain.
