Georgia Refugees in Gori and Tbilisi
People who have taken refuge inside a kindergarten in Gori, Georgia, on Thursday, October 16, 2008. Kindergarten #12 is now used for refugees from the conflict zone. Refugees receive food two times a day. On August 7, 2008, Georgian tanks entered Tskhinvali, capital of the breakaway region of South Ossetia. Russian forces moved in quickly to defend South Ossetia, but also continued moving into Georgian territory. The fighting officially ended on August 12 with a cease-fire, but there were at least 1,000 dead and injured. Tens of thousands of refugees had fled their homes on both the Georgian and South Ossetian sides because of the fighting. In South Ossetia, militia groups began looting and burning the houses of ethnic Georgians under cover of the Russians troops. Soon South Ossetia was cleaned for the ethnic Georgian population. These people now live in Georgia without the possibility of returning to their homes. Around Tskhanvali there were 40 Georgian villages, which are now all burnt to the ground as a part of ethnic cleaning.

Somaliland The Invisible Nation
The Xabaalaha Shanad camp for displaced persons in the center of Hargeisa, Somaliland, on Saturday, July 21, 2007.Somaliland declared independence from Somalia in May 1991, after a brutal civil war ended with the overthrow of military dictator Siad Barre. For the past 16 years the country has operated as a de facto state with relative stability; it has a constitution, a working political system, government institutions, police and military and its own currency. The multi-party elections of 2002 were declared the most peaceful in Africa for 20 years.
However, despite its success, no country formally recognizes Somaliland's sovereignty. With high unemployment and widespread poverty Somaliland's leaders believe recognition will pave the way for much needed aid and support from International financial institutions. With officially recognized diplomatic offices in London and Brussels and improving relations with many other nations, Somaliland is making increasingly credible claims to statehood.
