...Opposition presidential candidate Morgan Tsvangirai has fled the country, while 10 opposition activists have been killed and hundreds more injured in post-election violence - and refugees continue to stream across the border into South Africa. Despite growing calls from around the region and the world for the immediate release of the election results, Mugabe appears unmoved. Last Friday he celebrated the 28th anniversary of Zimbabwean independence by aiming his wrath against Britain, the former colonial power, whose bidding he accuses the opposition of doing. "Down with thieves who want to steal our country," he thundered, in his first speech since...

But Zimbabwe's neighbors are divided among themselves over how to respond, and all are wary of an anarchic breakdown that brings thousands more refugees streaming across the border.

Correa knows that Uribe, a key U.S. ally, is likely to keep his military's border pressure strong while George W. Bush is still the U.S. President, says Freddy Rivera, a security researcher at FLACSO University in Quito, Ecuador's capital. Ecuador isn't just neighbors with Colombia, Rivera adds. In reality it also shares a border with the FARC, as well as with drug mafias...
...Thursday meeting with foreign journalists, Correa reiterated that the lucrative coca trade is attractive among the remote and economically threadbare border communities. "A large part of the population, above all in Amazonia, on [both] the Ecuadorian and Colombian sides support the FARC," he said, "because the Colombian and Ecuadorian [governments] don't reach them, and the ones who provide jobs, in drug cultivation, etcetera, are the FARC...
