It’s hard to believe that we live in a world where some societies still discourage or forbid girls from attending school. Over the past 20 years we’ve made tremendous progress, but there’s still more to be done.

Friends,
The critical fight of the Paris climate talks will be in the next 24 to 48 hours.
Things here got off to a remarkable start, as many world governments aligned around a very ambitious target of limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, thanks to the bold demands of leaders on the front lines of the crisis.

There were elections in 2010/11 and there will be a runoff presidential election at the end of December -- both of these took place under this limited-government, maximum-international-community, regime (which could be called ‘donor rule’ and which I have called ‘Haiti's New Dictatorship’).
The 2010/11 elections were politicized and unfair. They banned the most popular party, Fanmi Lavalas,...
