Visions darfouriennes ...

They had already lost almost everything, fleeing a bombing or fights. They lost again everything after a fire, due to an accident while they were cooking, burnt what was their new house in an IDP camp.
Men are talking, under the shadow of a tree. Children are playing under the sun and posing for me. Women are reconstructing a new house, laughing and talking, while I'm taking pictures. The outside temperature is about 45°C, it is 4PM, the light is amazingly harsh and there is a small sand storm coming. I'm gonna fly tomorrow for 3 days in the middle of nowhere, to document the work of peacekeepers. I'm smiling.
