War torn Mogadishu's Medina Hospital
January 2, 2011, Mogadishu, Somalia: In Somalia, hospitals and other medical facilities in the capital Mogadishu have been overwhelmed by an influx of casualties while ongoing heavy fighting has prevented many other injured people from obtaining urgently needed medical care. The number of civilian casualties of fighting between government forces, backed by African Union peacekeepers, and Islamist insurgents are rising in Somalia's capital, Mogadishu, with civil society sources accusing the peacekeeping mission of being responsible for the bulk of them. For years, Somalis have been struggling daily to survive amid armed conflict, destitution and a lack of basic services. Young doctors and nurses defies security risks to run the Medina Hospital, which provides badly needed surgical and medical services in Mogadishu.///Doctors attend to a newly arrived gun shot wound patient at Medina Hospital.

UGANDA : NEWSPAPER BLAMES TERRORIST ATTACKS ON GAYS
27 november 2010 - Kampala, Uganda - David Kato, gay activist for Sexual Minorities Uganda (SMUG) and Naomi Ruzindana, gay activist for Horizon Community Association have their picture published in the 02-09 october issue. Naomi explained they download her photograph from her facebook page. Rolling Stone is a Ugandan newspaper which first attracted international attention in early october 2010, when its published a list of the Country's 100 Top Homosexuals, "100 Pictures of Uganda's Top Homos leak" with the front-page headline "Hang Them" "National scandal". The inside pages of that edition featured the names, adresses and pictures of several alleged homosexuals, some of whom, according to gay rights activists, were reportedly attacked after their involuntary outing and many have gone into hiding in fear of their lives. Although Uganda's media council ordered the paper to cease publication, the paper flouted this command, coming out with it's next edition on 1 November 2010, with the front page screaming: "More Homos Faces Exposed" "Man of shame part II". Escalating their anti-homosexuality campaign, in his 15-22 november 2010 issue, the paper blames, without any evidence, the July attacks in Kampala were plotted by "deadly homosexuals living abroad". The tale gets taller when the paper claims that homosexuals from the Middle East paid Somali terror group Al-Shabaab to bomb Kampala due to?outrage over the Anti-Homosexuality Bill. Finally, gays are blamed for funding the Lord's Resistance Army who have committed atrocities in the North. Gay activists filed a petition in court to restrain the tabloid from further publication of pictures and anti-gay stories, and sought damages and costs incurred following the publication of the article. These articles were published near the one-year anniversary of the proposal of the Uganda Anti-Homosexuality Bill.

KENYA : NORTHERN WHITE RHINOCEROS CONSERVATION PROJECT
18 january 2010 - Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Laikipia, Kenya - Elephant at the Ol Pejeta conservancy. On December 20, 2009, four of the world's last eight known surviving northern white rhinos were relocated from captivity back to the wild in a last bid to save them from extinction. The four rhinos, two males and two females, named Sudan, Suni, Fatu and Najin - were transferred by air from Dvur Králové Zoo in the Czech Republic to the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Laikipia, Kenya. It is thought that the climatic, dietary and security conditions that the rhinos will enjoy at Ol Pejeta will provide them with higher chances of starting a population in what is seen as the very last lifeline for the species.
