The Overview: 21.02.08

posted by John MacFarlane at 4h10 GMT on Feb 21

Europe: The implications of Kosovo's declaration of independence unfold, with tensions developing in Northern Kosovo, and Serbia saying the declaration amounts to a "toolkit for separatists".

Africa: An International Crisis Group report expresses fears of new violence in Kenya.

Asia: Benazir Bhutto's widower rejects the role of prime minister. Unsurprisingly, Burma's draft constitution hasn't won it many fans on the international scene. The Armenian PM wins that country's presidential vote.

Europe: Britain plans more rigorous citizenship tests. 

North America: What now after Fidel Castro's retirement? Continued socialism? Continued Castro infiuence? Pressure from the large neighbour to the west?
