  • The emplumados (feathered men) of Cacaopera do a variety of dances that are indigenous to El Salvador, from the Pipil and Lenca people, a culture that was nearly exterminated completely in the massacres of 1932.

There are only a few men who can do the dances now, though several people were taught in the refugee camps of Colomoncagua while the massacres of the 1980s were happening.

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 northern-backed Misseriya nomads, 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.

  • Antonio Soto (left) and Ryan Acuna (not their real names) package coffee in the Manila office of Rise Up for Life and For Rights, a Philippines ecumenical organization that provides support for victims of the government's so-called "war on drugs," and advocates for their rights. Proceeds from sales of the organically-grown "Tarung" coffee supports families of the drug war's victims.<br />
<br />
Soto was one of seven young men who turned themselves in to the police in their neighborhood, seeking protection from government-sanctioned hit squads. When the other six were all murdered within one month, Soto took refuge with religious groups for his own protection.<br />
<br />
Acuna is the only survivor of a 2016 massacre where a hit man on a motorcycle killed seven others at a Manila party. Acuna was injured in the attack, and has lived with religious groups since the killings.

  • Men unload merchandise from a boat on the bank of the White Nile River in Bor, a city in South Sudan's Jonglei State that has been the scene of fierce fighting in recent months between the country's military and anti-government rebels. After fighting broke out in mid December 2013, control of the town changed hands four times in a few weeks. ACT Alliance members were among the first humanitarian agencies to reenter the city in January 2014, and are providing services to thousands of people who are cautiously returning home to the troubled city. Aid workers consider the arrival of merchandise that was shipped upriver from Juba, the nation's capital, to be a sign that some economic activity is returning the the city.

  • Men carry a bag of sorghum during a food distribution by the United Nations World Food Program in Agok, a town in the contested Abyei region where tens of thousands of people fled in 2011 after an attack by soldiers and militias from the northern Republic of Sudan on most parts of Abyei. 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 northern-backed Misseriya nomads, 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. The sorghum being unloaded here, a donation by the U.S. government, is part of an aid distribution by the World Food Programme.
