  • A Fulani from a village in the Casamance territory between the West African countries of Guinea Bissau and Senegal sits on an ancient tree durig a festival for peace.   Rebels in Senegal's southern Casamance [Cassamance] province have been waging a bloody independence campaign against the central government in Dakar since 1982. The Movement of Democratic Forces in the Casamance (MFDC) has long used Senegal's southern neighbor Guinea-Bissau as a launching pad for attacks inside Cassamance. Guinea-Bissau's former president, Joao Bernardo Viera, was accused of supplying the rebels with weapons until he was overthrown in a coup in May 1999.    (Photo by Ami Vitale)

  • KASHMIR,INDIA: A Kashmiri Muslim woman and her child visit a Shiite shrine in Srinagar, the Indian held summer capital of the state of Jammu and Kashmir .  A sign reads that ladies are not allowed to enter the shrine after 6:30 p.m.  Islamic guerrillas have been fighting for independence of the Indian-controlled portion of Kashmir since 1989, but for the first time in 13 years, Kashmiris living in Srinagar have enjoyed a fragile peace and boom in tourism.

  • Kashmiri Muslims looks up at what is believed to be a relic of Prophet Mohammed's hair at the Hazratbal Shrine in Srinagar, May 25.   Since the 15th century, the Himalayan kingdom of Kashmir was known for its beauty and serenity. Everyone from Mughal emporors to British colonialists fell in love with its physical beauty.  Since 1989, it has been a state under siege, with both India and Pakistan laying claim to it. Human rights organizations say more than 80,000 have died in the 13 year old conflict. The Indian government says 40,000, but whatever the number, it has been mainly Kashmiri residents who have suffered as the two nuclear armed countries continue their proxy war.

  • Tourists from other parts of India take pictures in Srinagar's tulip garden during the fragile peace that exists in Kashmir today. Hardliners like Geelani, chairman of the All Parties Hurriyat Conference say, "The peace is fake. They have named the silence created at gun point as peace. There is simmering lava against state terrorism and excesses by the government, army and police,"

  • Arab Moors  who live in the remote town of Boujbeja struggle to survive in the harsh desert. "Boujbeja" means the luck of the desert but after a severe drought in 1966, they have been fighting the constant push of the sands and must dig 70 meters under ground to get water. Despite these difficult living conditions, the villagers do not want to leave and like the peace they enjoy from the rest of the world. The leader of the villager, Cheik Bey, is trying to preserve ancient manuscripts from his family. Sadly, many of them have been lost or severley damaged but for those that remain it is a magnificent reminder of Africa's literary history.  (Photo by Ami Vitale),
