Tajeddin Ahmed takes a picture of
his wife, Kefa Jawish, walking past
burnt-out cars as they head to
check their house for the first time
in four years in Aleppo's
northeastern Haydariya
neighborhood on Dec. 4.
Jawish was among hundreds of
Syrians returning to east Aleppo in
recent days after the army
recaptured large swaths of the city
from rebels, and encouraged
residents to visit neighborhoods
and homes they left years earlier.

The ratification of the peace

The 24-hour vigil brought
people who delivered
messages, sang and interacted
with the guerrilla fighters.
The new agreement to end
Latin America's longest
insurgency was put together in
just over a month after the
original pact — which allowed
the rebels to hold public office
and skip jail — was narrowly
and unexpectedly defeated in
an Oct. 2 referendum.

Dinka ethnic majority and the
pastoral Misseriya population,
who migrate through the area
seasonally from the north. An
attack by Sudan forces on Abyei
in May 2011 displaced the
majority of the approximately
105,000 Ngok-Dinka people to
areas south of the River Kiir,
