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 Developing Iran's Yarn Industry

Caption Description With a view to developing a domestic supply base for industry, Iran’s sole producer of nylon yarn, Sherkate Sahami Aliaf (Aliaf Company) received a $4.5 million loan, with a profit participation clause, from the International Finance Corporation (IFC) in 1971, to help finance a $17.1 million project that will double an annual production of 3,000 tons of nylon yarn. Besides granting a loan of $3.5 million equivalent, the International and Mining Development Bank of Iran (IMDBI), a private development finance company associated with the World Bank Group, joined Iranian and German shareholders in providing equity financing totalling $4 million, in addition to which, approximately $5.1 million is to come from cash generation, through company operations. While the two-year-old Aliaf Company had an output of about 40% of the annual consumption of 8,000 tons in 1971, supplying about 40 warp knitting mills and 3 stretch nylon yarn plants in Teheran and 3 other cities, the greater part of market demand, which is expected to reach 10,000 tons in 1976,was met by imported yarn, the project, part of a long-range expansion programme, is designed to eventually increase Aliaf’s output to some 10,000 tons of synthetic fibre yarn, and is estimated to result, over a 10-year period, in net foreign exchange savings of $14 million.
