Hot Spots, 2001



Ignoring the ME timeline and MEFHCP for a moment...

What hotspots are there that would be good campaigns
for ME?

I'm going through the news, just today, and have a
few.  Please chime in and let me know of others that I
do not know of.

Democratic Republic of Congo - Coup attempt today. 
Uganda and Rwanda are involved with the Rebels and
Angola, Namibia and Zimbabwe are backing the present
government.  News reports are stating that Kabila has
been killed, but not corraborated from multiple news
agencies yet.

Kashmir - Attack on Kashmir Airport in Srinagar,
India, today.  Islamic Militants were blamed for an
attack on the Kashmir High Security Airport.  6

EthiopiaFriday, accusing its Horn of Africa neighbor

Somali nationals and arming anti-government groups in
a drive to undermine international efforts to rebuild
Somalia after a decade of chaos.
