Europe s Digital Wrong Turn

Little wonder, then, that on the precipice of this historic moment, there are many snakes in the grass.

The next war, terrorist attack, or failed peace initiative may lurk just around the corner.

The continued support of the international community for our development efforts is crucial at the present juncture.

The question is whether it proves to be a turn for the better or for the worse.
