U.S Secretary of State John Kerry gives a press conference after meetings at the Palais de la Nation in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo, Sunday, May 4, 2014. The United States is ready to help fund the demobilisation of Democratic Republic of Congo's rebels, a senior US official said on May 3 as Secretary of State John Kerry arrived in the country on the latest leg of an Africa tour. "I can say categorically that we're ready to support them," the official said when asked if Washington was ready to back the government's demobilisation plan for some 12,000 rebels active in dozens of militias in the country's mineral-rich, restive east, a plan that's estimated to cost some 100 million dollars.

In this photo taken Wednesday, April 30, 2014, Jewish ultra-Orthodox military captain Moshe Prigan, 30, lays phylacteries for his morning prayer at home in the ultra-Orthodox Jewish town of Bnei Brak, near Tel Aviv, Israel. Prigan doesn't just serve in the military, he also recruits other ultra-Orthodox Jewish men to enlist, something the cloistered community has traditionally avoided doing.
