• Blackwater Plans Effort Against Piracy: Private security firm Blackwater Worldwide began holding meetings in London on Tuesday with potential clients for a new business venture -- protection from pirates. Navies from the U.S., India, Russia and Europe, including the British navy, have stepped up their patrols off the coasts of Somalia and Kenya and in the Gulf of Aden, but don't have the resources to protect all of the vessels that ply those waters. On Tuesday, the United Nations Security Council passed a resolution supporting a European Union naval mission to combat piracy off the coast of Somalia. Blackwater already has a ship it says could be deployed abroad to scare off or even challenge pirates: the 183-foot McArthur, which the company bought in 2006.

• Why coups are less and less popular | Out with the old | The Economist: REGIME change nowadays tends to be made through democratic means rather than by an army takeover. The number of coups has fallen in recent years, with only one recorded attempt in 2007, according to the Heidelberg Institute for International Conflict Research, a think-tank. This is a steep drop from the decades from 1960 to 1989, when an average of 12 coups or attempted coups were made every year. Many coups during the cold war years were backed by the Soviet Union or America as each superpower tried to gain footholds in strategically important countries, particularly in Latin America. But the biggest change was in sub-Saharan Africa, as decolonisation , especially in the 1960s, left weak governments vulnerable to the armed forces and to foreign mercenaries. The region is still the most prone to coups, although Asia is not far behind.
