Haiti: Civil-military round-up

An awful lot coming out of news and policy analysis about the extent of military involvement in the relief effort in Haiti. Watch this space for more, but in the meantime here is a round up of some good links:

• The MoD deploys a Navy Royal Fleet Auxiliary supply ship loaded with aid
• USAID stopped US soldiers from handing out food directly to people in Haiti, I'm sure with the best of intentions including sticking to the Oslo Guidelines, but it didn't come off well here
• Reflections on Sri Lanka's global role in peacekeeping and relief from Change.org
• An excellent and very useful list of news on military engagement in relief in Haiti which I hope will continue to be updated: Chris Albon's website
