I have been taking photographs in Darfur, Eastern Chad, and CAR, since the early months of the Darfur genocide in 2004. I post these images with the hope that people will take them to their synagogues and churches, their mosques and temples, and use them to help their communities understand what is happening to people in this anguished region. The images feature perpetrators and their instruments of destruction, villages and the ashes that remain, the deplorable camps into which millions have fled, and most especially they show the courage of those who are struggling to survive despite the unutterable atrocities committed against them, despite their irredeemable losses, despite the terror that shatters their days and nights, and despite the awful violence that continues to convulse their homelands. I hope the faces in these photographs will convey the level of suffering being inflicted upon innocent men, women and children. I hope that their faces will inspire others, as they have inspired me, to step away from our own feelings of helplessness and urge a largely indifferent world to acknowledge its responsibility to protect and bring peace to this fragile population.”
