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 Drought and Rising Food Prices in Niger

Caption Description A staff member at work at the therapeutic feeding centre in Bargadja, Maradi Region, Niger.
Prices at Niger‘s food markets are spiking in the aftermath of a patchy harvest, causing concern among food security experts that many could soon go hungry. The failed harvest, brought on by drought, has driven prices up. According to the Government of Niger, some 750,000 people across the country are severely food insecure, a number expected to reach one million by early 2012 as Niger moves towards its traditional lean season in March and April. In response to the looming food crisis, WFP is aiming to support some 3.3 million people over the coming year with life-saving food assistance.
