Yahoo News: on War & Peace


Elissa Slotkin: Since Iraq war, Congress has failed to update the 2001 AUMF

"Unfortunately, since the Iraq war, we've seen little action on the part of our elected representatives to truly demand that authority, and to seek to update the authorization of military force (AUMF). Our soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines serving in combat zones today are still largely operating under the 2001 AUMF, aimed at al-Qaeda, because our Congress has backed away from their responsibilities.

Pope Francis: Peace and reconciliation in Mideast, Africa, and Asia

Francis delivered his traditional "Urbi et Orbi" (to the city and the world), calling for global unity and help for nations suffering from conflicts and humanitarian crises.

He called for peace and reconciliation in Syria, Yemen, Libya, Nagorno-Karabakh, South Sudan, Nigeria and Cameroon and Iraq, which he is due to visit in early March.

He also asked to comfort those suffering from humanitarian crises or natural disasters in Burkina Fasso, Mali, Niger, the Philippines and Vietnam.
