    Top 10 Posts for April 2016

    An alternative to rebuilding Iraq’s dangerously unstable Mosul Dam? Rapprochement between Turkey, Iraq, and the Kurds, writes Azzam Alwash for the Middle East Program in last month’s most-read story. Cooperation over water could be a mechanism for building stability and restoring vital natural resources.

    The second-most read story of the month outlined new research on Myanmar’s most marginalized ethnic group, the Rohingya. As the country emerges from decades of military rule, how the new government treats them will have important implications for its demography and democracy going forward, write Rachel Blomquist and Richard Cincotta.

    Other new stories in April included Anubha Bhonsle’s reporting on the “medicalization” of female-genital mutilation and the struggle of those within communities where it is still common to stop it, and discussion of a new report from Mercy Corps on the implications of their innovative peacebuilding work in the Horn of Africa.
