Stockbrokers trade on the floor of the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange (ZSE) in Harare, February 24, 2015. ZSE on Monday lifted the suspension of hotel group Meikles Africa after the company threatened to take court action, shelve new investment and a possible listing of a subsidiary. Meikles, which owns two premier hotels in the capital Harare and the resort town of Victoria Falls, was suspended last week to allow for an investigation on whether it overstated a debt owed by the central bank.

Norio Tomine, Japan Airlines' (JAL) flight operations route planning director, points at a map of the Korean Peninsula showing a no-fly zone that would avoid an accident with North Korea's planned long-range rocket launch at JAL's pilot ready room at Haneda Airport in Tokyo April 11, 2012. Japanese airlines have made changes to flight routes in the east of the Philippines, where the North Korean missile's second-stage booster is expected to fall if the rocket is launched, following instructions from Philippine air authorities to close usual routes during North Korea's expected launch period, according to Tomine. The launch of the Unha-3 rocket, which North Korea says will merely put a weather satellite into space, has been condemned by its neighbours and the West as a long-range ballistic missile test.

An oil well oozes crude oil after it was hit by a shrapnel from a bomb dropped by fighter jets at the El Nar oil field in South Sudan's Unity State, March 3, 2012. South Sudan accused Khartoum of bombing two oil wells in the north of the new nation and moving troops and weaponry close to an army base near the poorly defined border. A Sudanese official denied the allegations. Relations between Sudan and the South have deteriorated in recent months as talks about border disputes and oil transportation fees have floundered, causing the South to shut down oil production.
