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.

For some time to come the poorer countries of the world will have to rely on agriculture to raise their living standards and supply the capital they need to create industries. Agricultural production must therefore be increased. This requires tractors, fertilizers, new and better seeds, vast irrigation schemes, land reforms.

Headline Greece’s Institute for Plant Cultivation

Caption Description The Institute was established in 1925, to searchfor new strains of wheat which would give better yields; later its research work was extended to other kinds of plants, such as oats, barley, maize, potatoes, etc. The Institute has a number of substations, and a large network of experimental fields throughout the country. After the war it was provided with new buildings, in Salonica, and modern scientific and agricultural equipment. The work of the Institute’s staff contributed to increase the quantity and quality of the crops grown by Greek farmers.
