Palestinian-Syrian refugee Ahmed, 27, his future wife Hanin, 18, and Hanin's mother Turki visit a pastry shop the day before their engagement party in Kilis, Turkey, March 10, 2017. Ahmed's and Hanin's journey started amid Syria's conflict and brought the two Palestinians from their homes in Damascus' suburbs to Turkey. They were introduced in the winter of 2017. As they lived in different cities, they texted for months before Ahmed took a 20-hour bus trip from Izmir to the border town of Kilis to meet her, which led to their engagement.

Migrants set off on foot for the border with Austria from Budapest, Hungary, September 4, 2015. Hundreds of migrants broke out of a Hungarian border camp on Friday and others set off on foot from Budapest as authorities scrambled to contain a migrant crisis that has brought Europe?s asylum system to breaking point. Hungary says it is enforcing European Union rules that it must register all migrants caught crossing Hungary?s borders, but thousands are refusing and demand they be allowed to continue their journey to western Europe from war and poverty in the Middle East, Africa and Asia. The European Union normally allows free movement between the 26 countries of its Schengen border-free zone, but its rules require asylum seekers to register in the first country where they arrive and remain until they are processed.

Fighters from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), which is currently in peace talks with the government to end 51 years of war, face a complicated path to employment and a life away from crime as they try to reintegrate into society. Demobilized rebels are popular recruits for crime gangs and will have to overcome prejudices to become economically independent after they graduate from government reinsertion programs.

Despite the conflict on the Syrian side of the border, cotton harvest is still underway in Turkey's southern border province of Hatay. During early October, the Turkish military launched a retaliatory strike on Syria after a mortar bomb fired from Syrian soil landed in the countryside in Hatay. Some Syrian refugees work at cotton fields together with Turkish villagers in the border region as cottons pickers. REUTERS/Murad Sezer (TURKEY - Tags: AGRICULTURE POLITICS) - GM1E8B509U401
