Dear Friend,

Welcome to the November edition of Alert's e-bulletin.

This month we focus on our upcoming Liberia Peace and Cultural Festival and our extensive work in the South Caucasus. You can also find out more about our training courses and fabulous events.

We've designed a new style for this newsletter, do let us know what you think, but in the meantime I hope you like it.

We do of course remain very concerned about the escalation of violence in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Read more here.
