Lebanese army soldiers deploy in the streets of the Sunni neighborhood of Bab Tabbaneh and the neighboring Jabal Mohsen, which is mostly populated by followers of the Alawite sect, in the northern port city of Tripoli, Lebanon, Wednesday April, 2, 2014. In a rare day of exuberant emotion, weary residents of two warring neighborhoods greeted each other with tears and cheers as hundreds of Lebanese soldiers deployed for the first time in years throughout the area, quelling violence between them that has killed at least 200 people in three years. The Lebanese army deployment in the northern city of Tripoli is the most determined plan yet by the government to bring peace to an area that was teetering into the neighboring Syrian civil war.

In this Sunday, March 16, 2014 photo, Indonesian presidential candidate Joko Widodo talks to his supporters during a campaign rally in Jakarta, Indonesia. Jakarta Gov. Joko Widodo, known affectionately as Jokowi, has attracted legions of supporters, especially among the young, igniting the same type of hunger for change that galvanized many previously apathetic American voters to turn out for Barack Obama in 2008. The soft-spoken former furniture producer wears simple button-down shirts with no tie or jacket and has developed a reputation of getting up close and personal with the capitalâs poor, from wading into floodwaters to visiting slums.
