A pile of firewood is seen at a firewood merchant in the Varkiza suburb, south of Athens January 22, 2013. With Greeks already struggling under wage and pension cuts imposed by the foreign lenders that bailed their country out, many have stopped using heating oil altogether, pushing consumption down 70 percent in the last three months of 2012 from a year earlier. Instead, Greeks are turning burning firewood - using anything from branches to old furniture - which has helped create a blanket of smog over the Greek capital while illegal logging multiplies across forests in the countryside.

Workers chop wood during the restoration of a Moorish house in the Algiers Casbah March 14, 2008. From cutlass and canon to earthquake and flood, powerful forces have long done damage to the Algiers Casbah, fabled bastion of Barbary pirates who plied the Mediterranean for centuries in defiance of European power. But the deadliest of the many blows suffered by Algiers' disintegrating old quarter may actually be contemporary -- neglect by successive governments of modern Algeria. Picture taken March 14.

The destruction of the 2,000-year-old Buddhas, among the great wonders
of the ancient world, was the first many people outside Afghanistan had
heard of the Taliban or Bamiyan. But a story of human horror also
unfolded in the town and the surrounding area as forces of the Sunni
Muslim Taliban, fired by a perverse interpretation of Islam, forced
tens of thousands of Shi'ite Muslims to flee into the mountains.
