These photos show civilians killed by janjaweed militias in Darfur. They were taken by members of the African Union mission in Darfur, and kept in a secret archive. A person of conscience working with the AU passed them to Nicholas Kristof of the New York Times, who passed them to us.We apologize if you find the pictures upsetting. They are the only record we have of the 400,000 people killed in Darfur so far.
they apologize if the viewer thinks they are too upsetting
I don't
I hope they upset you ...maybe that way you will try to do something too..
These two orphans from Darfur fled to the northern part of the Chad/Sudan border after their parents, uncle and older brother were either killed or went missing in an attack by the Janjaweed militia on their village, Ab-Layha. Nijah Ahmed, 4, is carrying her little brother, Nibraz, who is 13 months old and malnourished. Because so many men were killed and so many young women were carried off to be raped and killed, there are dozens of orphans in the area.
Hussein Bashir Abakr, 19, was in a group of men shot by the Janjaweed. His brother was shot in the foot but escaped and returned that night to bury the dead -- but found Hussein still alive, though shot in the neck and the mouth. Hussein is still severely injured and cannot eat solid foods.
This child had his face bashed in, presumably with a rifle butt, during a massacre in Hamada in January.
This man was castrated and then shot in the head. This is a common fate of male prisoners taken by the Janjaweed
Last year every day 200 people were killed averyday --- women , children and men
