A UN peacekeeper stands guard as crowds of children and villagers gather to welcome Steven Koutsis (unseen), the United States' top envoy in Sudan, in the war-torn town of Golo in the thickly forested mountainous area of Jebel Marra in central Darfur on June 19, 2017. The town was a former rebel bastion which was recently captured by Sudanese government forces. The top US envoy in Sudan began a four-day trip to Darfur on June 18, 2017 to assess security in the war-torn region as the UN prepares to downsize its 17,000-strong peacekeeping force. His visit also comes just weeks before President Donald Trump's administration decides whether to permanently lift a two-decades old US trade embargo on Sudan. / AFP PHOTO / ASHRAF SHAZLY
