An African Pompano (*Alectis ciliaris*) swims above a school of baitfish. Richelieu Rock, Surin islands, Andaman Sea. Pompanos belong to the Carangidae family (that is trevallies, pompanos, jacks and jack mackerel). Adults, like this one, are generally solitary and tend to occur around steep drop-offs, such as here at Richelieu. This image is available to license by contacting me directly.

Sculpture, COPE Centre, Vientaine, Laos. UXO, cluster bombs — Sculpture, COPE Centre, Vientiane, Laos, created by Anousone Vong Aphay, made entirely from UXO, including cluster bombs.

One of the most moving places I visited during my recent visit to Laos was the COPE Centre in Vientiane. COPE makes prosthetic limbs for Loatians. During the USA’s ‘Secret War’ on Laos, American bombers dropped an estimated 260 million bombs on a country smaller than the state of Colorado. It is the most bombed country on the planet. Around 30% of those bombs failed to detonate. Fifty years later, it is believed that only around 10% of these unexploded bombs (UXO) have been cleared. Around 25,000 Loations have been killed or injured by UXO since the ware ended. Cluster bombs especially, opening into many small ‘bomblets’ designed to maim, are especially dangerous, as they are often picked up by children not recognising them for what they are. The sculpture, in this picture, created by Anousone Vong Aphay, is made entirely from UXO, including cluster bombs. This also puts in to context the recent decision by the USA to send cluster munitions to Ukraine. There will no doubt be casualties for decades to come. This images of child casualties here is equally a grim reminder of the long term consequences of such policies. At the time of writing, the intensity of bombing the civilian population of Gaza is the greatest this current century. The consequences will be equally long lived.
