Photo taken on April 10, 2012 shows a boy waiting for his mother to fill jerry cans with water at a pump in a refugee camp in Yida, South Sudan that now accommodates over 30,000 refugees who have fled the fighting in Southern Kordofan. Amid heavy artillery bombardments and airstrikes, Sudan described the South’s seizure of the contested oil-producing Heglig region from its army as the worst violation of its territory, pulling out of African Union-led talks in protest and edging the closest to all-out war on April 11, 2012.

Grozny, Chechnya, 2001. When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, Chechnya proclaimed itself independent of Russia. In December 1994 Russian troops entered Chechnya to quash the independence movement. It is estimated that up to 100,000 people, many of them civilians, died in the ensuing 20-month war. Food and water supplies stopped within days of the Russian attack. Men and women searched for sustenance among the exploding shells, while the severity of the bombardment sometimes made it dangerous to venture out to retrieve the dead. Under Russian President Boris Yeltsin, a formal peace treaty was signed in July 1997, though the issue of independence wasn’t settled. In 1999, under the new prime minister Vladimir Putin, Russian forces re-deployed in Chechnya. Open conflict, as well as suicide bombings in Chechnya and in Moscow, continued into 2003.
