  • 6 October 2018, Jordan Valley, West Bank, Occupied Palestinian Territories: Ecumenical Accompaniers from the World Council of Churches Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine in Israel accompany shepherds in many parts of the West Bank, providing an international presence known to have a mitigating effect on confrontations between Israeli settlers and the Palestinians. EAs' presence also helps Palestinians access lands they otherwise might not have dared to continue to cultivate. In the West Bank’s Area C, any land that isn’t cultivated for a period of three years becomes property of the state, the shepherds explain, so accessing their lands regularly is vital for the communities and their herds.

  • A Dinka Ngok cattle herder drives his herd southward in the contested Abyei region along the border between Sudan and South Sudan. Fearful of incursions by Misseriya nomads from the north, he and other residents are fleeing south to avoid violent confrontations. Residents of the area also fled south in 2011 after a prolonged attack by soldiers and militias from the northern Republic of Sudan. Although the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement called for residents of Abyei--which sits on the border between Sudan and South Sudan--to hold a referendum on whether they wanted to align with the north or the newly independent South Sudan, the government in Khartoum and the northern-backed Misseriya, excluded from voting as they only live part of the year in Abyei, blocked the vote and attacked the majority Dinka Ngok population. The African Union has proposed a new peace plan, including a referendum to be held in October 2013, but it has been rejected by the Misseriya and Khartoum. The Catholic parish of Abyei, with support from Caritas South Sudan and other international church partners, has maintained its pastoral presence among the displaced and assisted them with food, shelter, and other relief supplies.

  • Rolando Herrera <br />
<br />
My father was a police officer. He died in 2010, he was killed.<br />
<br />
In that time Olancho was in a difficult situation. Drug trafficking had grown a lot, the authorities didn’t do anything, there was no other authority. We would walk through Juticalpa and see the traffickers controlling everything in the street. One time I saw a crowd of people and could hear people shouting, as I approached I could see that they were burning some people alive in the street, they poured petrol on them and set them on fire, in front of all the people. I don’t know what it was about. That sort of thing would happen.<br />
<br />
Girls and women couldn’t go out, they didn’t dare to go out, so they had to close some schools, no one wanted to go to school. If a trafficker wanted a girl, he’d just take her on the street, drive her away, she might never be seen again. <br />
<br />
To get to work, I bought a motorbike on credit, and one day the traffickers stopped me on the street, at gunpoint, and took the bike. I never saw it again, but had to carry on paying the quotas for the loan, even though I didn’t have the bike.<br />
<br />
Most of the houses in my neighbourhood had two or three kids, we used to play on the street. Within a few years, no one played outside, and all the kids, absolutely all of the kids, became migrants and went to the US. A few of them were killed, some in front of their house, before they could leave. It became a ghost town, many houses are abandoned, some in serious disrepair, some houses had their roofs and doors removed.  To go into the area you have to drive slowly with the windows down, and report to the trafficker guards, telling them who you were going to visit. If you drive fast or with the windows up, you’ll be shot.<br />
<br />
So, I went to the US. I was there for a while. I made two trips, the first one failed, it went bad. I went with a people smuggler. We had a guide, and we met a group of the Zetas, they killed the guide in front of us, they cut his throat and decapi

  • Israeli settlers have a Sabbath picnic in an olive grove belonging to Palestinian farmers in Hebron. Some 400 Israeli settlers, protected by 5,000 Israeli soldiers, have used intimidation and violence to drive Palestinian shopkeepers from the center of the ancient city of Hebron, in the southern part of the West Bank. Settlers have also chased Palestinians out of their own olive groves. Many claim that the ultimate goal of the settlers, who believe that they have a divine right to the land around Hebron, is to drive the Palestinians away permanently.

The Vama Siret border crossing connects northeast Romania with Ukraine. Located north of Siret and further in the south the city of Suceava, the crossing connects Romania with the Ukrainian village of Terebleche and further north the city of Chernivtsi. Following the invasion of Ukraine by Russian military starting on 24 February 2022, close to half a million refugees have fled across the Ukrainian border into Romania. In the past 24 hours, government figures indicate more than 50,000 people have crossed the border in search of refuge, an estimated 20 percent of whom are expected to stay in Romania, rather than transit into other European countries.

  • A vehicle from a United Nations peacekeeping contingent drives through a camp in rebel-held territory in the eastern Congo. Families displaced by fighting between rebel Tutsi General Laurent Nkunda and the Congolese military took refuge in this camp they established in the shadow of the UN base in the village of Kiwanja. According to aid workers and human rights groups, rebel soldiers executed some 150 people here in a 24-hour period in early November. The killings took place half a mile from the UN base, yet the 120 UN peacekeepers, part of the largest UN peacekeeping contingent in the world, did not take any action to stop the violence. ..

  • Roshdy Ayad drives a cart along a farm road in Zeitun, Gaza. The border with Israeli is just 600 meters away, and military activity in the area has precluded constructing the infrastructure necessary for farming. In the wake of the truce that ended the 2014 war between Hamas and the Israeli military, Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe, a member of the ACT Alliance, built this road so that farmers could have access to the area. ACT Alliance members are supporting health care, vocational training, rehabilitation of housing and water systems, psycho-social care, and other humanitarian actions throughout the besieged Palestinian territory.

  • 6 October 2018, Jordan Valley, West Bank, Occupied Palestinian Territories: 40-year-old Deab Abu Malik herds his sheep in the Jordan Valley on the West Bank. Deab looks on as an Israeli settler drives by on a motorbike, wondering if they will stop to raise dust over the Bedouins’ presence. Ecumenical Accompaniers from the World Council of Churches Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine in Israel accompany shepherds in many parts of the West Bank, providing an international presence known to have a mitigating effect on confrontations between Israeli settlers and the Palestinians. EAs' presence also helps Palestinians access lands they otherwise might not have dared to continue to cultivate. In the West Bank’s Area C, any land that isn’t cultivated for a period of three years becomes property of the state, the shepherds explain, so accessing their lands regularly is vital for the communities and their herds.

  • Haken Saadala watches as a child runs to board a bus he drives for displaced school children in Seje, Iraq. The community was flooded with displaced families when the Islamic State group took over nearby portions of the Nineveh Plains in 2014. Because the displaced children came from communities with Arabic curriculum schools, they don't fit well in local schools that teach in Kurdish or Assyrian, so the Christian Aid Program Nohadra - Iraq (CAPNI) provides transportation to Duhok, where they study in schools that meet their needs.
