NEWZ047 Try To Take Over The World!

Newz of the World

Central African Republic President Ousted; Cyprus Bailout Deal; Rios Montt on Trial; New Constitution in Zimbabwe; Rio Evicts Indigenous People; Arms Control Wonk

A rebel coup has sent the President of the Central African Republic into exile. While the IMF and the EU agree to a deal to bailout Cyprus. Old Guatemalan strong man Rios Montt faces a genocide trial for his actions in the 80's. We wonder if even with the new constitution, Robert Mugabe might be President when he is 100 years old. Riot police in Rio carry out more evictions as part of World Cup and Olympic preparations. And our NEWZ source of the day is the mighty Arms Control Wonk.
