Malnourished children sit on a bed at Banadir Hospital, in Mogadishu, Somalia, Wednesday, May 7, 2014. Aid groups in Somalia are warning that seasonal rains are failing and mass hunger could again descend on the country. The U.N.'s food and security unit says 51,000 children are severely malnourished and are at high risk of death. Aid groups said Wednesday that despite such a grim number only 12 per cent of the needed aid funds in 2014 have been met. Aid groups say an additional (Canadian) $822 million is needed.

In this photo taken Wednesday, March 26, 2014, Emmanuel Ndayisaba, right, and Alice Mukarurinda, pose for a photograph outside Alice's house in Nyamata, Rwanda. She lost her baby daughter and her right hand to a manic killing spree. He wielded the machete that took both. Yet today, despite coming from opposite sides of an unspeakable shared past, Alice Mukarurinda and Emmanuel Ndayisaba are friends. She is the treasurer and he the vice president of a group that builds simple brick houses for genocide survivors. They live near each other and shop at the same market. Their story of ethnic violence, extreme guilt and, to some degree, reconciliation is the story of Rwanda today, 20 years after its Hutu majority killed more than 1 million Tutsis and moderate Hutus. The Rwandan government is still accused by human rights groups of holding an iron grip on power, stifling dissent and killing political opponents. But even critics give President Paul Kagame credit for leading the country toward a peace that seemed all but impossible two decades ago. (AP Photo/Ben Curtis)
