Talk to the Editor: Southeast Asia security

Join us Thursday at 1 pm EST for a conversation with Simon Montlake, who covers Southeast Asia for the Monitor. Simon has just returned from The Philippines, where the government has been fighting a long-running battle with the Abu Sayyif guerrillas. He also has been in Sri Lanka, where the Tamil Tiger movement was defeated last year and the majority Sinhalese have consolidated control over the island.

Simon joins Monitor editor John Yemma to answer your questions. What, if any, are the ties between Muslim guerrillas in The Philippines (and other Southeast Asian nations) and al-Qaeda? Is Sri Lanka at long last at peace, or are the Tamils merely regrouping?

The conversation will be webcast in this blog via Ustream. You can watch it live here.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
