Crisis Group Louise Arbour's Top 10 Conflicts for 2013

In an article over at Foreignpolicy.com Louise Arbour of International Crisis Group sets out 10 conflicts which Crisis Group believes are the biggest coming threats for 2013. The list does not claim to be exhaustive or even prioritised. 

Many that could credibly have made their way onto the list - like the "drug-related violence in Mexico and the "ongoing trauma in Somalia" - have been left off.  Rather the list seeks to highlight "a mix of the obvious risks and those we believe are bubbling beneath the surface."  

Those are:  Sudan, Turkey/PKK, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria & Lebanon, the Sahel, Central Asia, DRC, and Kenya.  

The full article can be found here.
