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 Tourism Development in the South Adriatic Region

Caption Description In 1964-65, a team of United Nations experts, appointed under the Expended Programme of Technical Assistants, recommended the formulation of a plan for the development of tourism in the Adriatic region as a whole. Within this framework, the team also recommended the elaboration of a detailed regional plan for the South Adriatic Region. The rugged and beautiful coastline, the assistance of historic cities and a good climate combine to make the area one of considerable potential for tourism. The Government of Yugoslavia subsequently requested the assistance of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in formulating this regional plan with the emphasis on physical development of the area. The proposal also includes master plans of selected areas and detailed plans for tourist facilities.
