**FILE** A Libyan military helicopter flies Sept. 21, 2012, over a demonstration at Victory Square in Benghazi, Libya, by Ansar al-Shariah Brigades and other Islamic militias. The attack that killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans has sparked a backlash among frustrated Libyans against the heavily armed gunmen, including Islamic extremists, who run rampant in their cities. More than 10,000 people poured into a main boulevard of Benghazi, demanding that militias disband as the public tries to do what Libya's weak central government has been unable to.

**FILE** Children play April 27, 2012, at a former camp for displaced persons most of whom have now returned to their villages, in Bobi, near Gulu, Uganda. Some locals in Gulu have other concerns that complicate the military mission of forces now hunting for Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) leader Joseph Kony, such as the fear of reprisal attacks if they are thought to be helping the authorities find him, or concerns that troops hunting him will not be able to distinguish between the regular LRA fighters and their abducted children.
