    The Top 5 Posts of April 2019

    In April’s top post, Sarah Glaser and Cullen Hendrix find that a mostly domestic armed conflict involving Joseph Kony and the Lord’s Resistance Army increased competition over Nile perch among fisherfolk, which created tensions between Kenya and Uganda.

    Two top posts recap recent events held at the Wilson Center. Kyla Peterson focuses on the complex relationship between water and food security. Nazra Amin reports on how Saving Mothers, Giving Life (SMGL), a public-private partnership, has successfully reduced the three delays (seeking, reaching, and receiving) to care and decreased maternal mortality rates in sub-Saharan Africa.

    The Wilson Center’s China Environment Forum grabbed the other top spots. Karen Mancl explores China’s “hollow” villages and describes how the sale of village development rights to cities is helping revitalize rural China. In a must-read on solutions to China’s food waste dilemma, Jiaqiao Xiang and Jennifer Turner describe how in Jinan, cockroaches help divert some 60 tons of food waste from landfills.
