The arrival of a UN regional force in South Sudan will enable the UN Mission in the country, UNMISS to free up additional peacekeepers to mount more “patrols along insecure roads,” the head of the Mission, David Shearer has said.
Mr Shearer, who is also the Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General in South Sudan was speaking in Juba following the arrival, over the weekend, of the first 120 soldiers of the Rwandan battalion of the Regional Protection Force (RPF).
The RPF was mandated by the UN Security Council with a maximum troop strength of 4000 and will bolster the Mission’s capacity to deter violence and protect civilians in the South Sudanese capital, Juba.
The 15-member Council authorized the force in the wake of the violence in Juba in July 2016.
A Nepalese High Readiness company and over 100 Bangladeshi engineers have already arrived in the Mission area as part of the force.
Mr Shearer said the arrival of these contingents “marks the beginning of the phased deployment of the RPF” in Juba.
Some 600 additional Rwandan peacekeepers will arrive in next few weeks while the “arrival of Ethiopian troops is imminent,” Mr Shearer added.
RPF troops will be based in Juba and will operate if necessary, in surrounding areas.

This M.I.C.E. insecurity patrol Unit is currently retired. M.I.C.E. stands for Metropolitan Insecurity Corporate Enforcement. The term "insecurity" is comprised of two words and is short for "investigative-security". This unit took a beating due to unauthorized chases, and insecurity officers doing donuts and street racing the company car. This car is a Ford Crown Victoria.
Insecure. That's how I feel right now. I hate how boys toy with girls emotions and make us girls all confused. It sucks. That's what this photo is meant to represent. That nervous, scared and unsure feeling that fills me up whenever there's a guy that may or may not like me.
Today was a tired day, I woke up at ten (since its CSAP us juniors don't have to go in until 11) from a beautiful and vivid dream. Went to school but came home early thanks to a nasty cramp. Slept somemore, watched a movie. Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus (fabulous movie, you should really watch it) and now here I am writing all this down.
My song of the day today is All We Are by Matt Nathanson, because we are what and who we are, there's no real changing that.
Between raw and burnt, moving and staying, secure and insecure, happy and sad, between silence and noise. Right there, in the hyphen between things, that separates and links them, oscillating and without certainties, is where one who has decided to start a journey situates himself. Between Palestine and Israel, between his mother´s and his father´s family is where everything is happening for Rafael.
A journey has to do with a certain disposition of the soul (yes, the soul). There are times when, for periods that can last for seconds, weeks or months, we feel that we are going with heightened senses somewhere unknown. It can happen on the way to buy tomatoes or on a planned world trip, that we see with the active eyes of a foreigner or of a motivated tourist. These are willing eyes, that observe more and omit less. Condition of this journey, to be such, is not to stop too much.
Rafael has been moving for ten months now, mainly between Palestine, Israel and Berlin, and he hasn’t arrived yet. Some things cannot be formulated without turning to a cliché: this is a journey back to the roots. Son of a Chilean descendent of Palestinians and a Chilean Israeli who met in Chile, he was anxious to know about the history of his family and about the history and (contingencia) of their places of origin. That is why, a trip to Israel, offered from a Zionist organisation for young people with Jewish ascendency –and therefore cheap- was the opportunity to get started and to later cross the border to Palestine, West Bank.
This exhibition presents part of the material recorded by Rafael during his stay in Palestine and residency in Berlin. There are some pieces of more elaborated and thought through work and other that are pure documentation In this process the categories in between them Rafael situates himself lose part of their categorical authority, sometimes the far feels near, and he feels far from all that is close. Remembering, silence feels just like noise and arriving and leaving are like the same thing. What we get to see here, is an attempt to put some provisory order into a wide universe of visual material and memories. Unfinished works, burnt works, not yet started works.
Enjoy.

Malawi, Muona, Nsanje District, 24 March 2020
In March 2019, rural farmers in Muona have seen their crops washed away by Cyclone Idai. WFP responded at that time with immediate support.
However, as food stocks depleted and as the next harvest is only expected in March 2020, WFP in Malawi has distributed monthly cash transfers to the most vulnerable so they can buy food and boost the local economy.
In the Photo: WFP is distributing Cash to food insecure people in Muona, Nsanje District (Southern Malawi) so they can buy food in the local markets.
As prevention measures for COVID-19, the beneficiaries are called by small group to facilitate distancing, received sensitization messages on the virus through the megaphones, are asked to wash hands with soap before and after getting their entitlements. In addition, staff and volunteers in charge of the distributions are using protecting masks and gloves.

Triptych #4 based on insecurities.
"Depression is often very misunderstood. It is not just feeling blue, dissatisfied, or down in the dumps. It cripples one’s mind and can turn your body into a heap of lethargy and despair. Although it has been about two years since I suffered from it, having this mark in my past still remains to be one of my biggest insecurities. Perhaps it isn’t having a mental illness that makes me feel uneasy, but the haunting memories of alienation, significant weight loss, and vicious fights that sparked between myself and loved ones that have left me worried and afraid. This illness once consumed me and heavily altered my personality. I felt lost within the confining walls of depression and couldn’t release myself. I am now thankful that after roughly 18 months of living in a state that felt completely foreign, I have recovered and have felt comfortable with myself since. I continually try to put my trust in my current peace of mind, but I know that I can never be sure that I won’t lose myself again."
LOL JK!

The arrival of a UN regional force in South Sudan will enable the UN Mission in the country, UNMISS to free up additional peacekeepers to mount more “patrols along insecure roads,” the head of the Mission, David Shearer has said.
Mr Shearer, who is also the Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General in South Sudan was speaking in Juba following the arrival, over the weekend, of the first 120 soldiers of the Rwandan battalion of the Regional Protection Force (RPF).
The RPF was mandated by the UN Security Council with a maximum troop strength of 4000 and will bolster the Mission’s capacity to deter violence and protect civilians in the South Sudanese capital, Juba.
The 15-member Council authorized the force in the wake of the violence in Juba in July 2016.
A Nepalese High Readiness company and over 100 Bangladeshi engineers have already arrived in the Mission area as part of the force.
Mr Shearer said the arrival of these contingents “marks the beginning of the phased deployment of the RPF” in Juba.
Some 600 additional Rwandan peacekeepers will arrive in next few weeks while the “arrival of Ethiopian troops is imminent,” Mr Shearer added.
RPF troops will be based in Juba and will operate if necessary, in surrounding areas.

Food and nutrition insecurity and limited decent employment opportunities represent serious challenges in Indonesia’s Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT) province, home to some of the nation’s most isolated and vulnerable communities. NTT has over 4.5 million people. Approximately 80 per cent of its population is rural, and 65 per cent of its population lives below the national poverty line.
The selection of the three value chains – maize, livestock, and seaweed – as a focus of the programme was based on assessments carried out during the initial phase of the programme, taking into consideration the employment, income generation and productivity potential, as well as their impact on food security. The assessments included consultations and focus group discussions with local stakeholder and local and national governments.

Part of the joy of Easter is understanding that Jesus has overcome death and sin for us, and that nothing more can have hold over us. Our worst enemies have been defeated, and we are now free to live as God has called us to live! Nevertheless, trials will come.
"...we should strive to see Our Lord, who always comes in the storm of suffering. Let us learn to accept the setbacks with faith, as blessings from heaven to purify us and draw us closer to God... Whoever recognizes the reassuring voice of Our Lord in the events that may sour our lives, whatever they may be, immediately discovers the security of reaching dry land... It is enough to be in his company for us to feel secure always. Insecurity arises when our faith is weakened, when we don't have recourse to Our Lord because it seems that He doesn't hear us or doesn't care for us.
-- excerpt/paraphrased from Conversations with God, Vol II, Francis Fernandez.
"When evening came, his disciples went down to the seas, got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. The seas rose because a strong wind was blowing... ... they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near to the boat. They were frightened, but he said to them, "It is I; do not be afraid." Then they were glad to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going." --John 6:16-21

Between FY 2008 & 2010, when poverty and unemployment rose dramatically, food insecurity (defined by the USDA as households with difficulty providing enough food for all members) was surprisingly stable—about 14.5%. Increase in need was instead reflected by food stamp spending, which rose 83% during that same time.
The Dialogue and LAPOP are pleased to present this new report and this discussion of the cost of crime, the implications for security policies and US foreign policy, and how a better understanding of insecurity can help improve the situation.
Triptych #2 based on insecurities.
"Sometimes I feel as if I am grasping for something completely out of reach. I see my goal ahead of me, but the path towards it is unclear. There are thousands of people out there that want the same thing that I do, so what sets me apart from the rest? Am I going to make it? Acting is what I am passionate about, and even though it is one of the hardest industries to get into, this is what I have chosen for myself. But, what if I’m just setting myself up for a letdown? Why bother having confidence in this when I haven’t ever had much confidence in anything else? I have gotten work, I have received praise, but will it only ever be at an amateur level? Maybe I don’t believe that I have what it takes to break through and become something more."

Where are you from if your homeland isn’t on the map? Nigerian author and journalist Mohammed Umar, German Sadulaev, the Russian author of I am a Chechen and the Nagalese author Easterine Kire Iralu talk about the pressures of writing about places that don’t exist. Are stateless authors doubly oppressed – both politically and culturally? Or can this uncertain identity liberate writers to create a more personal literature, unconstrained by traditions or expectations? Chaired by writer and prize-winning translator Daniel Hahn.

Persistent drivers of food insecurity and acute hunger—conflict, climate shocks, and environmental shocks—have been compounded in 2020 by the COVID-19-related health and socioeconomic upheaval and by the severe desert locust outbreaks in East Africa. The pandemic is expected to push as many as 132 million more people into chronic hunger in 2020, in addition to the 690 million who went hungry in 2019.
To navigate the increasingly complex, interlinked causes of food crises, governments and other stakeholders require timely, high-quality information to increase the resilience of food systems and cope with future crises. The EC-funded Food Security Portal (FSP), initiated in 2010 in response to lessons learned from the 2007–2008 world food crisis, seeks to improve governments’ ability to respond to and prevent food crises by bringing together policy-relevant tools and information in one place. The FSP is designed to pool timely, relevant, detailed and high-quality country-level information in a systematic way.
This policy dialogue will focus on data and information sharing and coordination for improving food security, with a focus on the role of the FSP in monitoring the drivers of food insecurity and food crises to inform policies. New tools and features of the FSP and the Africa South of the Sahara sub-portal have recently been added to the upgraded website.

I named this piece "The Face of Insecurity" because I wanted it to depict the face in its naked form. I captured this photo by having my boyfriend stand in front of blank wall with his shirt off. I think this fits into my theme because it was supposed to depict how it feels to be insecure; bare and exposed, something that everyone can see.
