'Even the stones were destroyed' HALAWA'S body lay on the mountainside where she fell when the bombs exploded, her womb torn open, the tiny body of her unborn baby lying by her side, the blood soaking into the soil congealing in the heat of the sun. She was nine months pregnant; her friends said she was due to give birth to her fifth child within days. June 15, 2004. Click here for more Sudan coverage |

NAME OF AL-SADR HANGS OVER UNEASY SOUTH ODAY al-Dibaj clasps the bars of his prison cell, his hair cropped close to his head, his beard neatly trimmed. He speaks fast, and passionately. The people love Muqtada al-Sadr, Dibaj says, because Sadr loves his country and supports all the good people in Iraq. Around him, the 20 or so other men with whom he shares his filthy cell in Basra's main prison press forward, agreeing with him, talking over him. Behind them, in between the slogans painted on black sheets, a picture of Sadr dominates the rear wall. April 17, 2004. Click here for more Iraq coverage |

Hope dies for Africa's lost generation CAROL Singwoma is weaving her way through the crowd, the eyes of the men on her dirty white knitted turtle-neck top and the little skirt covering her thin legs. Her skin is a deep black, her eyes big and open, her features attractive, if not quite pretty. She is giggling, her arms folded across her small breasts, aware of the attention of the men swigging from bottles of beer and swaying to the sound of the African dance music as they spill out of the open-air bar into a darkened side street on the edge of the Zambian crossroads town of Kapiri Mposhi.

Without aid now, this child and millions will starve to death IN the shade of the grass roof of a hut in a village at the end of a dirt road, in the heart of a country the tourist brochures call the warm heart of Africa, a young girl is dying. Madaloo James's eyes are bloodshot, her belly distended from the parasitic worms feeding inside her, her feet swollen from the oedema which starvation brings. Thirteen months old, she has weeks to live, perhaps less. October 4, 2002. Click here for more Malawi coverage |

Inside the War on Terror:The US wakes up to winning a war for hearts and minds Two things are abundantly clear. The US has no intention of letting up on its new war; if anything, it is gathering momentum, fuelled by genuine concerns over new and dangerous threats. But it is also clear that many of those involved in that war are coming to realise that the country cannot simply build a wall around itself and retreat into Fortress America. March 29, 2005.

The roof came down, fires started. Bodies lay charred and burned beneath the debris and children in their underwear fled from the building as gunfire crackled around them. Smoke poured from the wrecked building. More than 100 bodies were said to be lying in the gym while outside the bodies of more dead children lay on stretchers. Mothers held them and wept.
