*Jim Lobe, in "[http://www.ipsnews.net/news.asp?idnews=31306 Ignore Africa at Your Peril, Think Tank Warns Bush]" (''IPS News Agency'', December 5, 2005), noted that the CFR's report, "[http://www.cfr.org/publication/9302/more_than_humanitarianism.html More Than Humanitarianism: A Strategic U.S. Approach toward Africa]," urges the Bush administration "to upgrade its diplomatic and intelligence capabilities in the region by appointing an ambassador to the [[African Union]] (AU) and opening more missions in key African cities, particularly in energy-producing countries. It also calls for greater high-level attention to resolving conflicts in the region, particularly those, such as in the [[Democratic Republic of the Congo]] (DRC), that threaten the stability of whole sub-regions or involve large-scale atrocities."
