Happy weekend eveybody!
I hope you all had a great week and an even better weekend! Unfortunately I am still struggling with this terrible cold, I have spent almost all of September sick, and it only seems getting worse… Anybody has any suggestions to cure pneumonia-like coughing and shortness of breath? I think I’ve tried everything, really, but who knows…
Anyway, this past week was packed in terms of world affairs with quite a few new developments. I will cover UNGA-related items separately, so here now I collected other stories from this week.

H.M. Abdullah II. of Jordan discussed how Jordan and surrounding nations with an already fragile economy don’t have the resources to provide for the huge masses of Syrian refugees.
