UN Volunteer Ali Issiaka (Nigeria) (centre) visits community leaders in Kasai Occidental and Kasai Oriental Provinces, in the DRC. Both areas have experienced conflict due to ethno-political rivalries. Part of Ali’s work is to train local mediators, promote grassroots-level dialogue and support reconciliation. ‘’These activities help local communities to sustainably manage their conflicts and to gain a collective consciousness about the fact that there will be no development without peace and that development without peace is precarious,” he says.

This SH-3 Sea King was assigned to Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron Four (HS-4).
HS-4 was the first anti-submarine warfare (ASW) helicopter squadron of the U.S. Navy to deploy aboard an aircraft carrier, the escort carrier USS Rendova.
HS-4 was on scene for Apollo missions 8, 10, 11, 12, and 13. The recovery was always made by "Helicopter 66". The helicopter's flight number was changed from "66" to "740", as after the Apollo 11 recovery the U.S. Navy had switched to a three number squadron designator - but the helicopter was repainted with the number "66" for each recovery thereafter for public relations reasons. HS-4 earned a Meritorious Unit Commendation (MUC) for these recoveries. For the recovery of Apollo 13 in April 1970, HS-4 was assigned to the helicopter carrier USS Iwo Jima.
Helicopter "66" now sits on display on the USS Midway (CV-41) in San Diego, CA.

At this point, the confrontations were dealt with by a hi-vis clad 'conflict resolution team', who would run around asking people not to be violent. Amazingly, it worked, and the violence calmed down really quickly. Another victory for friendly policing!
This happy fellow was building bridges with the activist community by allowing the clowns to paint his face and wave flowers at him.
Disturbingly tho, the conflict resolution folks' logo was the arms of the german police with the slogan "Aha!" Imagine is the english Community Support Officers adopted the motto of "Boo!". They'd be a laughing stock...
These photos were taken during the anti-G8 protests in Germany, 2007. A wide variety of leftist protestors converged in Rostock to highlight issues of global inequality as the leaders of the world's most powerful industrial nations gathered to conspire against the rest of the world. As germany still has a strong nazi movement, faces have been pixellated to protect the identities of those involved.
