Europe's plan to aid North Africa toward democracy

This news story comes from the Public Radio International about two weeks ago, covering Europe's response toward the warring countries of North Africa. The anchor says a few things like how theses African countries have been Europe's close neighbor so they need to help them reach stability through democracy, and that Europe needs to change the way it provides for North Africa as fund to the countries only end up in the hands of corrupt leaders.
Of course there is conflict in North Africa right now, but I think the news values lean more toward emotions, because here is Europe stepping in to try and help North Africa, and that makes me as a reader very impressed to see that something is being done to help.
The lead uses some powerful verbs describing the condition in North Africa by refering to it as a 'wave of unrest', and the does well to direct the point of the story.
