A shopkeeper in a clothing and shoe store in Hamar Weyne Market in the Somali capital Mogadishu. The 6th of August marks two years since the militant group Al-Shabaab withdrew from Mogadishu following sustained operations to retake the city by the Somali National Army (SNA) backed by African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) troops. Since the group's departure the country's capital has re-established itself and a sense of normality has returned. Buildings and infrastructure devastated and destroyed by two decades of conflict have been repaired; thousands of Somalis have returned from abroad to invest and help rebuild their nation; and foreign embassies and diplomatic missions have reopened.

Mbyo Village is a reconciliation village, established as part of Rwanda's "Unity and Reconciliation" initiative to foster national unity and collective progress. These villages represent one of several projects initiated by the Rwandan government in response to the 1994 genocide. Within these villages, survivors of the genocide live alongside repentant ex-perpetrators, promoting coexistence and healing.

2024 marks the 30th observance of the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, one of the darkest chapters in human history. More than one million people – overwhelmingly Tutsi, but also Hutu and others who opposed the genocide – were systematically killed in less than three months.

Headline Rehabilitation of South Korea's Wire Industry

Caption Description The UN Korean Reconstruction Agency (UNKRA) has allocated $360,000 for the rehabilitation of South Korea's wire making plants, which were severely damaged during the war. By the end of 1954, most of the machinery and supplies (galvanized sheets, lumber, copper wire drawing machines, rubber and cotton covering machines, shearing machines, rolling machines, braiding and electrical testing equipment, wire weaving looms, alloy and diamond dies, soft steel billets, etc.) had arrived and was in operation. This picture was taken at the Dae Han Electric Wire Manufacturing Company, at Anyang, which produces 20,000 meters of wire daily and provides employment for 80 people; it shows two Korean women operating a cotton threading machine. This machine covers a copper wire with two layers of heavy cotton thread prior to running the wire through a pitch and asphalt mixture to provide the final heavy black insulation coating. [January 1955]
