No one knows what Russian President Vladimir Putin might say when he gets to Belgrade. Turkmenistan uneasily signing up reservists as tensions escalate on Afghanistan border, while Turkmen President Gurbanguly Berdymukhammedov tightens their country's relationship with Russia. Behind the scenes the current U.S. President may have seriously considered NATO pullout (1, 2). Part way through Canada's deployment in Mali security situation on the ground offers little optimism. How effectively are Middle East leaders resisting sectarianism? Iran Nuclear Deal may still have potential. The International Crisis Group (ICG) has recipes for saving Yemen's Stockholm Agreement and for peaceful transition in Sudan.
