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 Crafts Training for Ethiopian Women

Caption Description As part of its dedication to helping women in developing countries to improve their own lives and their families’, the Voluntary Fund for the United Nations Decade for Women, in conjunction with development agencies in Ethiopia, has set up a handicrafts training programme at the Bethlehem Training Centre near Addis Ababa. The Programme concentrates on handicrafts – tie-dyeing, carpet-weaving, embroidery, block-printing, and tapestry-weaving – that require little investment but can yield on attractive income. Women who complete their training are encouraged to go on to train other women, work out of their homes, and organize handicrafts production cooperatives. A particular appeal of the Programme is that mothers can keep small children with them during their training sessions or take advantage of the day-care and school facilities available at the Centre.
