Africa Current Event 2

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7731937.stm

Who:The DR Congo
What:Peace process with the DR Congo govt.

When:Sunday Nov 16
Where:DR Congo
Why:250,000 people have been made homeless by the fighting between rebels and Congolese government troops.
Gen Nkunda acknowledged that his forces had suffered heavy losses.

How: The violence and fighting happening there, many troops have been lost.

One reason that makes this article 'news' is because its very relevant. This article was published on November 16th and this is something people will want to know about quickly.
There is also 'progress' involved. The progression in the country of the DR Congo. They have stopped all the fighting there, and as said Gen Nkunda is said to be supporting the peace process. Many people have been left homeless and a great number of people have also died. This is something good happening in the world, and is a progression for the DR Congo.

Nandini, I discovered that when you were telling your who, what, when, why, where, and how, that you didn't use any sentences to support it. I think that is effective in some ways because you get straight to the point, but if you had some sentences to support it as well, that would have made the post a tad bit better. I think that you explained why the post is "news worthy" very well and makes me believe that this is an important story. Good job Nandini :)
