DARFUR (click here to view gallery >>)
I first visited Darfur in 2004, during the peak of the slaughter of the civilian population and the rampant destruction of their homes...By 2006 80—90 percent of Darfur's villages were ashes. 2,5 million people had fled into wretched camps across Darfur and eastern Chad. Click to view photos >>

EASTERN CHAD (click here to view gallery >>)
Eventually it became impossible to think of Darfur without including eastern Chad. A quarter of a million Darfuris fled across the completely porous border seeking safety in Chad. Chadian villages struggled to absorb the huge numbers of refugees. Then, in November 2006 Darfur’s Janjaweed crossed into Chad to burn 60 non-Arab Chadian villages. Thousands of Chadians were homeless and wounded. Click to view photos >>

CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC (CAR) (click here to view gallery >>)
Just look at the map. Sudan shares a border with the Central African Republic. But only some of the problems of CAR are related to Darfur. Cross currents of armed groups are tearing this country apart. I think the people of CAR are the most abandoned in the world. Click to view photos >>
