| From: AlJazeeraEnglish | 19 August 2010 After 21 years of civil war with the North, the semi-autonomous region of southern Sudan is due, in the coming weeks, to take part in the country\\\'s first democratic elections in a generation.

However, recent floods in south Sudan, have left more than four million people on the brink of starvation - an indication of some of the enormous challenges now facing a turbulent, war-ravaged region.

| Questions on Iraqi war funds | |
| AlJazeeraEnglish | 18 August 2010 The last American combat brigade has left Iraq, two weeks before Washington\\\'s deadline for an official end to combat operations and more than seven years after the US-led invasion (18 July 2010). But 56,000 American troops remain, most of whom will stay in Iraq until the end of next year, in what the Obama administration says is a military, training and advisory role. The US has spent at least $700 billion on the Iraq war. But that is not counting future interest payments and long-term care for wounded soldiers. There are now also concerns that funds for the reconstruction of Iraq are being misspent. Tom Ackerman has more. | |
