 More than 100,000 children have been displaced by the latest escalation in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, UNICEF said on Sunday, warning the numbers are expected to rise as violence spreads. Since Dec. 1, intense fighting has uprooted more than 500,000 people, with children accounting for over 100,000 of those displaced in South Kivu alone, the UN agency said in a statement released Sunday.

Develop courage by acting courageously anytime courage is called for. And because you must learn to cooperate with the inevitable, you will also learn to disregard what you cannot control. There are certain things that are simply not in our power to control. For instance, we have no control over the weather. Therefore, being aware of this fact, what is the point in wasting time and energy complaining that the weather is too cold? Rather, focus on maintaining a cool, confident mind at all times''.More photos below.
