A view of the border fence which separates Morocco and Spains north African enclave of Melilla, December 3, 2013. On the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, there are still barriers separating communities around the world, from the barbed wire fence dividing the two Koreas, the fence around the Spanish enclave of Melilla, to the sectarian Peace Wall in Belfast, the Israel-Gaza barrier and the border separating Mexico from the United States.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a view of the border fence that separates Morocco and Spain's north African enclave of Melilla. Taken on December 3,2013, it serves as a stark reminder that even in the aftermath of the fall of the Berlin Wall, barriers still exist around the world, dividing communities. From the barbed wire fence between North and South Korea to Belfast's sectarian Peace Wall, from Israel-Gaza barrier to Mexico-US border, these walls symbolize deep-rooted conflicts and political tensions. The image portrays an elevated perspective showcasing not only the physical barrier but also its surroundings. The water in the background adds a sense of isolation and separation while emphasizing nature's indifference towards human-made divisions. With no people visible in this frame, attention is solely focused on this man-made structure cutting through landscapes. Taken by Juan Medina for Reuters Images' "The Walls That Divide" package commemorating the 25th anniversary of Berlin Wall's collapse, this photograph prompts reflection on themes such as immigration policies, civil unrests arising from territorial disputes or religious differences. It invites viewers to contemplate how these boundaries impact lives and hinder unity among nations. As we observe this picture today, it reminds us that despite progress made towards global cooperation and understanding since then; there are still fences standing tall across our world – both literal and metaphorical – waiting to be dismantled for true harmony to prevail.
