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 Greece’s Economic Development - The “Isola” Factory

Caption Description The Isola manufacturing company, which was established in 1930, in Athens, is a growing industrial concern. The firm received a $660,000 loan after the war, under the Marshall Plan; it now employs close to 700 people to manufacture pipes (cast iron, steel, insulated, etc.), articles for building equipment, enameled sanitary ware, and electrical household appliance (stoves, water heaters, refrigerators). In the last 12 months, Isola produced 1,000 refrigerators, 4,000 electric stoves, and 6,000 tons of pipes.
This picture shows Isola workers applying enamel on stove and refrigerator panels.
