Why it matters

The stakes turn on whether readers accept that The Democratic Republic of the Congo is back in the World, as is Turkey. That point shapes the political meaning of the story.

Common ground

The clearest point to anchor on is this: The Democratic Republic of the Congo is back in the World, as is Turkey.

Perspective signals
