  • The flag of South Sudan flies over the ruins of a government office in Abyei, a town at the center of the contested Abyei region along the border between Sudan and South Sudan. Buildings here were looted and burned in 2011 when soldiers and militias from the northern Republic of Sudan swept through the area, chasing out more than 100,000 Dinka Ngok residents. A few thousand families have returned since northern combatants withdrew in 2012, yet their life is precarious. Although Ethiopian peacekeepers today patrol the region, renewed attacks by northern-backed Misseriya militias in 2013 have many worried. 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.

Behind the flags stands a sign reading 'Ukrainians killed by Putin' (the Russian president). Ukraine suffers from the invasion by Russian Federation military forces into the country, ongoing since late February 2022, and since 30 September also the annexation by Russia of four regions in eastern Ukraine.

  • Iraqi soldiers--flying a Shia Muslim flag--patrol the street in front of a Syriac Orthodox Church in Mosul, Iraq, on January 27, 2017. The city was occupied by the Islamic State group in 2014 and partially liberated by the Iraqi army in early 2017. During their occupation, ISIS painted the front of the church with Islamist slogans, and used the building as a warehouse. According to neighbors, in the final weeks of their rule ISIS leaders sold the building to a contractor who began to demolish it in order to salvage the steel rebar in the walls. Although this portion of the city has been liberated, Christians are unlikely to return soon due to concerns about their security. And with Shia units of the military in control of the largely Sunni community, many expect Muslim rivalries will sooner or later plunge Mosul back into chaos.
