      "We have received some difficult information from Guinea-Bissau, and this information indicates to us that there is a coup underway," Daniel Kablan Duncan told reporters after a meeting of the 15-nation regional group in Abidjan.

      ‎"A few minutes after the launch, the rocket disintegrated into several pieces and lost its altitude," South Korea's foreign minister, Kim Sung-hwa, told journalists on Friday.

      "North Korea's launch... is a clear breach of the UN resolution that prohibits any launch using ballistic missile technology. It is a provocative act threatening peace and security on the Korean peninsula and Northeast Asia,"
      he said.

      • Michelle Istler-Perry One of the things that makes Panama increasingly interesting to tourists is its biodiversity and the rarity of it being home to at least 3 different indiginous tribes. If the nation destroys these elements they are risking future economic profit as well as the most treasured resources of its unique people and environment to big business.
