Pinnacles: Newsletter for Today's World Leader - July 2011

HELLO, SOUTH SUDAN
Pinnacles would like to welcome Salva Kiir to the roster of world leaders, having become the first president of the Republic of South Sudan. Today there are celebrations in Juba, the new capital, but Kiir may want to get to work soon. There's a lot to do in the country NBC news calls "one of the poorest and least developed places on Earth," but that may just be a temporary situation. According to their website www.southsudan.net/, South Sudan's got oil so even if they don't get rich, they will still be popular!


LIBERIA'S ELLEN JOHNSON SIRLEAF NAMED PINNACLES MOVIE REVIEWER

Six of her ten favorite movies feature Dustin Hoffman. She can't stand wearing 3-D glasses. She doesn't mind talking during movies. These are three facts about Liberian president and movie buff-in-chief Helen Johnson Sirleaf who beat out Iran's Ahmadinejad and Finland's Katainen to replace Egypt's Mubarak as Pinnacles' resident movie reviewer. She says she can't wait to get started. She is looking forward to writing her review of "The Hangover 2" which does not open in Liberia for another week, but she had the opportunity of viewing as a guest of British Prime Minister David Cameron.
