The people of Rwanda have come a long way since the 1994 genocide that took nearly a million lives. Yet the stories captured in our Fractured Lives photo exhibition show that survivors, ex-combatants and ex-prisoners are still struggling to rebuild their lives.

The debate over what happens after 2015 is beginning to heat up. The Rio+20 conference on sustainable development saw an attempt to develop an alternative set of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), while the formation of a High Level Panel of World Leaders has focussed minds on what might replace the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

The signatories of this statement hereby express our concern regarding the return to war in the territory of Rutshuru in North Kivu, between the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (FARDC) and the armed group, M23. The on-going violence could possibly revive tensions between ethnic communities in the Kivus as well as have a negative impact on economic development, including on cross-border trade by small traders which sustains hundreds of thousands of persons in the region on both sides of the border.

International Alert is proud to present its new annual report, “Peace Talks”, which looks back at Alert’s work and impact in 2011 – when Alert celebrated its 25th year – using dialogue as a theme.
International Alert recently launched a briefing paper titled 'Journalism in Transition: Media, Information flows and conflict in Nepal' produced as a part of the EU-funded project Initiative for Peacebuilding - Early Warning (IFP-EW).
This month we gave a fond farewell to our outgoing Chair of Trustees, Frida Nokken, after six years as a member of Alert’s Board, and welcomed Pierre Schori as our newly elected Chair of Trustees. Pierre has been a member of Alert’s Board since 2010 and Vice-Chair for the past year. The Board of Trustees is responsible for general control and management of the administration of Alert.
