Horrors in Hama
A trainee doctor tells of the bloodshed he witnessed during the Syrian army's siege of the city of Hama.

Kashmir: The forgotten conflict

Or been.. More -

Syria: Violence in the dark
When widespread protests broke out in Syria in March, President Bashar al-Assad's regime turned to its feared security services to smother the anti-government movement.

The conflict in Libya will continue to take its toll on communities long after the war has ended as long as hidden bombs remain scattered across public areas.
