Peace on Earth?


"A Congolese woman at a camp in North Kivu, eastern Congo, was one of thousands who have been displaced by recent fighting."

This photo (by Lynsey Addario for The New York Times) and caption appeared on the home page of the Times' website this morning.

I was struck by the look of this woman, but even more so by the setting.

The green hills of Congo look just like the green hills of Rwanda.

Sadly, the new year has not brought peace, only promises.
