From house breaking in Johannesburg to hippos on the loose in Tbilisi to rioters attacking a policewoman in Burundi, Reuters photographers tell the story behind some of the most iconic pictures of the year.

Goran Tomasevic: Protesters started throwing stones at a group of police, who then started to run away.
