This R&D covers the unrest in Ferguson, Missouri. On Monday it was announced the criminal charges will not be filed against Darren Wilson, a Ferguson police officer who shot and killed eighteen-year-old Michael Brown on August 9. After the announcement of the decision, Ferguson businesses were attacked by looters, although other protesters opted to peacefully challenge the decision. The Justice Department is still looking into possible civil rights charges, but legal experts believe they will not charge Wilson. However, they are looking into alleged civil rights violations by the Ferguson Police Department.

This R&D covers Kenya’s fight against al-Shabab, an Islamic militant group that opposed Kenyan military interference in Somalia, where al-Shabab is trying to establish an Islamic state. Last Saturday saw al-Shabab militants attack a bus in Northern Kenya, killing twenty-eight non-Muslims on board. Two days ago, Kenya’s military reportedly killed more than 100 al-Shabab militants in retaliation. Al-Shabab was behind the Westgate Mall Shooting in Nairobi last year, which killed more than sixty people.

This R&D covers Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren. Warren, who is serving her first term, is a favorite among progressives in the Democratic Party. She will coordinate outreach with progressive interests for Senate Democrats as they enter the minority this January. Some Democratic Party donors are reportedly urging Warren to seek the presidency, but she has thus far signaled that she has little interest in running for the White House in 2016.

This R&D covers the nation’s war on methamphetamines. Law enforcement is reporting that meth lab seizures are on the decline and stricter state laws on the purchase of ingredients that make meth have proven effective. However, Mexican drug cartels are stepping into the void and could undermine recent gains. According to the Associated Press, the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) seized more than 11,000 meth labs last year.

U.S. meth use remains high, but many are turning to cheaper, imported Mexican meth rather than making their own: http://t.co/lVRyghfaUg

This R&D covers Jordan, a Middle East ally of the United States and one of only two Middle Eastern nations to have a peace treaty with Israel. While other Middle Eastern nations have been rocked by the Arab Spring and significant sectarian unrest, Jordan has remained a pillar of stability. However, analysts wonder if the Syrian Civil War and the growth of the Islamic State will soon pose a threat to King Abdullah II’s government. Also, Jordan has been very critical of the Israeli government in light of recent disputes over religious sites in Jerusalem.

This R&D covers political unrest in Burkina Faso. Last Friday, President Blaise Compaore was forced to resign due to protests against his attempt to amend the constitution and run for another term in 2016. The country’s military has assumed control of the country and the African Union (AU) has given them two weeks to hand power to a civilian government. If military refuse to comply, the AU could pursue sanctions.
