10 stories the world needs to know more about

From the UN, a list of 10 stories that the world news often overlooks. Not surprisingly, half of them are from Africa. If we think we know little about the people/country/cultures of the Middle East, then we know near nil about the continent of Africa except that Charlize Theron is from South Africa, and that's only if you were paying attention during the Oscars.

In particular, a story on how women play a crucial role in rebuilding for peace as well as the economic strains of maintaining peace.
