Congo: A Touch of Hope in The War without End

A man rests his hand on a child looking at volunteers who had gathered to entertain some of the population living at a camp for Internally Displaced People in Kibati, just north of the North Kivu provincial capital city of Goma. The UN Security Council approved an extra 3,000 peacekeeping troops to help end conflict in eastern DR Congo, where fresh fighting erupted earlier in the day. (AFP/Roberto Schmidt)
