Following our recent issue on North Korea, we at The Consul decided to switch regional focus for this issue to the African subcontinent. However, remaining constant is our emphasis on educating the Penn community on the human aspect of global conflicts as we write about some of the environmental and health issues present in or near conflict zones as well as some of the worst atrocities currently being used as weapons of war in conflicts on the African subcontinent. We hope that you will find this coverage as well as our usual coverage of politics and events around the world enriching to your understanding of international issues. As always, please browse www.theconsul.org to see all of our articles, blog posts, and special content.
Best,
Sam Blumenthal and Jing Ran
