HOUNDE, Burkina Faso, March 21 (Reuters) - A small group of activists have been walking from Mali's capital Bamako to Burkina Faso's capital Ouagadougou to express their support for a federation between the two West African states.

Holding the flags of both countries and the African Union, the group of about a dozen men and women walked in single file last week on the side of a road near Hounde, in western Burkina Faso, as they neared the finish line of a trek of more than 860 km (535 miles).

"It is for us today to push our governments, our institutions, our people to move towards a federation because we believe that only the federation can be the global and definitive solution for Africa," said Souleymane Diouf Diallo, spokesperson for the group, calling itself "The walkers for African unity".

troops are still present due to the ongoing battle against IS. Though there is now a government, following a year of deadlock after elections and an outburst of violence in Baghdad, the state remains unable to keep the lights on or provide clean water.

Later decisions such as support for Nouri al-Maliki made matters worse. The catastrophe was compounded by the failure to plan for what came next. Iraqis watched as power stations and national treasures were looted, while American troops guarded the oil ministry and Donald Rumsfeld, the defense secretary, glibly dismissed the turmoil: "Freedom´s untidy." The security vacuum and de-Ba´athification strategy fomented sectarianism not only in Iraq itself, but far beyond its borders - and fueled terrorism that has proved not only most deadly in the region, but has taken lives in the west, too.

The attacks on the database aren´t really about ERIC.
They´re part of a broader, multiyear campaign to bully elections officials.

Demagogues have planted seeds of doubt in the minds of Americans that their votes don´t count.

Representatives of the states that make up ERIC are scheduled to meet Friday to discuss its future. Becker announced Tuesday that he will not accept renomination to the board as his term expires this week.

Overshooting climate thresholds can seem inevitable, and we may feel powerless to stop it. But we are not without power to alter this course by making different decisions every day that, when added up, can reduce the severity of global warming we will live with for decades to come. It can be overwhelming nonetheless to contrast how little is being done about climate change with the clarity of the science.
