<br />
Fifteen kilometers from Ashkelon over fifty families, totalling 300 persons, live in tents and caravans.<br />
This small village is called &ldquo;the village of faith&rdquo;.<br />
Many come from different settlements in the Gaza strip.  The majority of these persons have no water nor toilets.   Ultra orthodox families are grouped in an open shed. In three months they have already built eight classes, four for girls and four for boys, starting from kindergarten to primary school.   These former settlers have refused the government compensation of  9000 euros,  as well as the prefab homes.  They put their faith in God, and ignore the israeli government. <br /> ]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[ Since September 12, 2005, their are no israeli civilians in the Gaza strip.  When the Hebrew State  evacuated 8500 of its citizens spread out in the 21 colonies, all diplomatic representatives and arab capitals applauded this event.<br />
<br />
More than two-thirds of the settlers (68%) agreed would abide by a democratic decision to withdraw and only a very minority (6%) would refuse.  Only 2% would resist by all ways and means. <br />
<br />
The majority of the settlers (59%) agree to a compensation.<br />
<br />
There are three groups.<br />
-Those who accept the compensation proposed by the state but are opposed to resettlement in small prefab dwellings. Some live since 3 months in hotels in Jerusalem awaiting government proposals. <br />
-Those who  accept the state compensation and the aids from the Ministry of Housing.<br />
-Those who refuse all government aids and who live spread about Israel in tents and caravans.<br />
<br />

Family composed of 5 boys aged one to eight..   Since three months,this family lives in a hotel, and still has to wait  three more months before being allotted a new home, &ldquo;caravans&rdquo; (prefab homes rented by the israeli state).<br />
This family  comes from the N&eacute;v&eacute; D&eacute;kalim settlement in the Gaza strip. Mrs. Mashil Ker is an educator and is fully conscious that this temporary situation will seriously affect the children&rsquo;s future education; integration difficulties, worry about their future.... <br /> ]]></description>

<br />
Intifada meaning uprising.  The word used several times in Lebanon but also in Morocco or Irak to describe a rebellion against an oppressive regime or a foreign enemy. It also describes two popular opposition groups against the israeli defense forcesin the occupied territories and in certain zones claimed by the palestinian authority (Gaza strip and West Bank).   It&rsquo;s a main issue in the israeli-palestinian conflict.   <br />
<br />
The first Intifada, called war of stones, started on December 9, 1987.  The second palestinian Intifada, &ldquo;Al Aqsa&rdquo; Intifada, began on September 29, 2000, following Ariel Sharon&rsquo;s visit to the Mosque Esplanade/Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

	<description><![CDATA[ Freemasonry first appeared in Scotland then in the UK, and describes itself, considering the times, the countries and the practices, as an &ldquo;essentially philosophical and charitable association&rdquo;, as &ldquo;a system based on ethics and illustrated by symbols&rdquo; or as an &ldquo; initiation order&rdquo;.  Organized as obediences since 1717 in London, Freemasonry termed as speculative...i.e philosophical makes reference to the past obligations of Freemasonry said to be operative, established by the builders society which erected  cathedrals, among other monuments. <br />
<br />
Using symbols and rituals, it confers an esoteric, dogmatic and progressive learning:  It encourages its members to work for the progress of humanity, whilst leaving each member free to interpret the meaning of those words.  Donating to charities is one of its missions.  Its vocation is universal though its practises and methods of organization extremely vary according to the countries and periods  It groups people in different countries all over the world, aiming at a better spiritual and moral life.<br /> ]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[ &ldquo;I am a freedom fighter fighting for freedom in Uganda.  I am not a terrorist&rdquo;, said Joseph Kony,  in his  green uniform of the Uganda army and surrounded by armed guards with grim looks.<br />
<br />
Ten thousands north ugandese have been killed and  close to 2 millions have been displaced during the 20 years of war. LRA  considered as being extremely brutal towards the civil population. <br />
<br />
Obyono, spokesman of the LRA delegation &ldquo; God has given us the strength, he supports us in our suffering...We choose 18 year old youngsters to whom we explain that they must join us to liberate our country from the harmful government of Musevni......the government of Khartoum helped us...no the LRA  is not weak but we seek peace... the Uganda army has formed a brigade, called the 501, which commits atrocities in our name...sometimes we are obliged to kill civilians as the Uganda army hides in villages and uses civilians as shields...  Joseph Kony is a very religious man.    <br />

	<description><![CDATA[ After several days of waiting and negotiations, we were able to go to one of Joseph Kony&rsquo;s base camps.    We penetrated the thick bush of the congolese park of Garamba and suddenly saw child soldiers who sprang out at us just like wild animals. Palm tree branches were strown on the ground to symbolize according to the Acholie ritual, the sign of peace.   Joseph Kony proudly stands wearing his military jacket, but after 20 years in the bush, with no contact with anyone, he is a timid  and tense war leader replying to a few questions.   He pretended that all that had been said about him was purely propaganda directed by the government of Kampala.  He denies having child soldiers.  Although around him among his soldiers some seemed less than 15 years old.  Combed with deadlocks, staring blankly and arrogantly holding their AK 47, one feels that they had their  childhood stolen ...It was Raska Lukwiya &lsquo;s case, number 3 of the LRA , killed on Saturday, August 12, by the Uganda army.  Raska, like most of the rebels, was kidnapped  as a child.  Nevertheless, negotiations continue.  <br />

	<description><![CDATA[ He operates in a simple and efficient way,  the rebels kidnap 6 to 15 year old children.   After training but above all brainwashing, those children rapidly become new fighters.  According to the UN, LRA has kidnapped 20.000 children, boys and girls, in the north of Uganda and south Sudan over the last ten years.<br />
South Sudan just emerging from 21 years of war no longer wants to see its children kidnapped by these &ldquo;fanatics&rdquo;, but wishes to quickly put an end to this rebellion before it sets fire to this yet so fragile land.    The powerful sudanese vice-president, Reik Machar, has instructed  the government of Uganda, as well as the LRA, to negotiate peace with Joseph Kony hiding in the south of Sudan since several years and now .probably 1000 kilometers further south.  His base camp is now in DRC on the sudanese border.  <br /> ]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[ Photographer for 14 years, my approach is simple, go towards others and understand who they are... I always put a point of honor to tell the lives of people, be they military, rebels and refugees in order to present all the complexity of a conflict. <br />
<br />
There is neither good nor bad. I'm here to testify and by no means to take part. I love working on lengthy topics to understand the complexities of the world in which we live. Curious, with a desire to understand and learn, I am not afraid to tackle topics that question me as the closed world of Franc masonry or Orthodox religions. These are matters in which often the image is repressed, prohibited, see taboo. <br />

	<description><![CDATA[ Reconstruction ?       Some new buildings can be seen on the Ilha, this narrow Luanda coastline.   Building projects that hardly conceal a devastating standstill.     Despite considerable rich natural resources (oil and diamonds in the north) and the return of peace, the country remains in a dead-end.    Economy ruined by the appara tchiks of this socialist state and by the western countries, corruption, laminated roads, families torn apart, health programs afloat, malaria, malnutrition.<br />
<br />
The picture would not be complete if we omit the 12 million mines disseminated all over Angola,  almost as many as the population of the country, which delay any idea of reconstruction.  Heritage of a conflict that has killed more than half a million people who haunt the nights of the survivors.<br />
<br />
On the highlands of Planalto, formerly the granaries of Angola, awakening is painful.   The inhabitants hesitate between fatalism and trust in the future.  The small town of Bailundo is falling in ruins, as well as its hospital with its shattered windows and pierced roof allowing the rain to pour in.   The exorbitant prices of basic  materials, such as concrete or sheet metal.  Same  picture of desolation in Mungo.   Indeed old town Unita now has electricity as well as a  motor tractor.  Only problem:   the brand new engine and the land cultivated belong to the police commanding officer.<br />
Angola suffers from not moving ahead.    Corruption, disastrous roads, expensive transportation, hamper the straightening up of the economy and health structures.    Since 2002, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.mdmuk.org.uk/">Doctors of the world  </a>brings medical aid to a fragile population.  <br />

	<description><![CDATA[ Twice a week, father Horacio walks the streets of Luanda to offer some warmth to the homeless children.   &ldquo;We try to circle their real difficulties in order to better help them.   Eventually, we may suggest that they join the center&rdquo;, explains this argentinian with the looks of Che Guevarra. A lot of patience is needed to cope with suspicious minors, having no landmarks and often addicted to drugs, who rarely accept to follow the padre  at first contact.   Created in 1993, the Arnaldo Janssen center boards and offers school education to 180 young people who must respect the internal rules and regulations in the form of ten &ldquo;commandments&rdquo; (compulsory classes, sharing the tasks, hygiene...)       External students are also accepted. They can all major with professional degrees. At the same time, steps are taken to find the families in order for some boarders to return to their homes.     &ldquo;Nevertheless warns the priest, success depends above all on the child&rsquo;s implication.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
Orlando, a twelve year old street child in Luanda :  &ldquo;My elder brother used to beat me, so I ran away, but when I came back my family had fled from the war.   I slept outside and to feed myself, sold garbage picked at the Roque Santeiro, the largest market in Africa.   One day I asked Father Horacio who spoke to me about the center, to give me ten kwanzas (local currency). Suspicious, I nonetheless decided to follow him.    He has just found my uncle who will take care of me&rdquo;.<br /> ]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[ Life gets organised around the tents that Okutiuka grabbed from the Administration.   The site baptised parada dos fobados (&ldquo;starving squats&rdquo;), is run with authority by Jesus, 17 years old, the well-named.     To avoid being excluded, no more filthy rags of chupilingua, this addiction to fuel , should be found laying around.   The teenagers respect the rules:  up at dawn, washing up, then cleaning the place before school.    Tonight, to an air of  rap, they show off their arms bearing scars made with used blades.    Anxiously  eyeing all this, Jesus scrutinizes the horizon:   a mackerel has moved her hovel to just 100 metres from here, as though to spy upon this small fragile world.  Just like a deadly sword of Damocles.<br />

A great step, but clearly insufficient, considering the needs in terms of health and hygiene, the children suffer from various pathologies such as malaria, scabies, skin diseases, breathing infections, tuberculosis.      For the prevention of sexually transmissible infections.    Sanitary conditions: two deep holes near a stretch of polluted sea  are used as drinkabe water for washing.     A crucial aspect of medical follow-up, as those small migrants often sail by boat to Luanda to seek work.<br /> ]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[ Lobito, behind its old-fashioned decor, offers a pretty sad contrast:  the now shabby rich colonial<br />
villas by the sea, strongly contrast with the paradas,  of the downtown decayed squats.  According to the provincial authorities, these temporary refuges (abandoned toilets, car shells, containers, etc), shelter  450 children, of which 18 girls, left to themselves.    In all, over 2500 minors survive from begging and small jobs, prostitution, most often for girls &ndash; on the coastline of Benguela-Lobito.  Some come  from families dispersed during the war, others victims of domestic violence, who chose to run away from their families and seek refuge on the streets.     <br />
