There's lots of rejoicing going on in Lebanon as the current cabinet stepped down and international pressure and opinion mounts on Syria to withdraw its troops from Lebanon. Certainly there's no love lost for the Syrians who many Lebanese resent because of their dominance of Lebanese politics.
In spite of this euphoria and unity displayed in calling for Syria's withdrawal, there's still challenges ahead for Lebanon.

Amongst which, is the fact that the true killers behind Hariri's killing are yet to be found.
Here's a case that Syria is not be the main suspect behind that.

Fighting rages on in the Democratic Republic of Congo, formely known as Zaire. Interestingly, offensive action was waged against local militiamen by UN peacekeepers, who apparently had been attacked previously by this militia.
