Iraqi Sunni politician forms group to give insurgents a political voice
A Sunni Iraqi figure, Ayham al-Samarie, says he formed the National Council for Unity and Construction of Iraq to represent resistance fighters and push for a US troop withdrawal timetable within one to three years. He notes insurgents want end to campaigns and see talks as legitimacy. The move follows confirmed negotiations between US officials and insurgent groups.

Memin Pinguin stamps spark controversy in Mexico
Five new Mexican stamps feature Memin Pinguin, a caricatured black child from a 1940s comic. Activists call the design offensive, while officials defend it as cultural. President Fox’s earlier remarks on migrants drew similar backlash, though he later expressed regret.
