<> on December 22, 2011 in Panmunjom, South Korea. U.S. and South Korean defense intelligence reports today suggest that the transition of power in North Korea is going smoothly following the death of North Korean leader Kim Jong Il of a heart attack Saturday. His death has brought concerns about instability in the Korean Peninusla, with heavy attention being paid to the movements of the country's 1.2 million military personnel. State media has released imagery of North Korean's weeping and mourning at the main square in Pyongyang as citizens participate in an the state-wide 11-day mourning period culminating in a national memorial service December 28-29.

North Korea Fires Short-Range Projectiles After the UN Implements New Sanctions

2014 December - Lamwo district, East Acholi province, Uganda. When children are on break from school (as these children, on Christmas holiday) they join their parents in the sesame fields for harvest. Sesame is an increasingly important crop in this region, both as a healthy food and as a valuable commodity. Agriculture employs about 80% of Uganda's workforce, so Mercy Corps partners with private agricultural businesses to build a more robust market where farmers have the information and knowledge they need to maximize the quality and yield of their crops as well as to successfully sell at market. Mercy Corps has pioneered the practice of contract farming, through its partnership with local output buyer, GADC. The contracts reduce the risk for famers to invest in a relatively new crop like sesame, and help them anticipate the prices they'll attain for their crops at the market. On average, farmers who have contracted with GADC report a 100% increase in their income earned from sesame.
