Wendy Stone came to Africa on an assignment in 1988, and fell in love with the individualistic tribes and the untouched landscapes, she knew right away she would never leave. She has now traveled to 20 african countries and covered stories in Ethiopia, the civil war in Somalia and the relentless war in Southern Sudan.This photo above
/is currently one of the most famous images of the genocide in Darfur, Sudan, which has been going on since 2006.The Janjaweed (the reble group comitting genocide,) will enter a village on horse or camel back. They then set about causing as much mayhem and terror as possible: destroying houses and buildings, shooting the men, gang raping the women and children and shooting any who try to escape. The village is generally destroyed, families dispersed and separated, most killed. Those who manage to escape then attempt the long journey to an IDP (Internally displaced persons) camp. More than 3 million people have been displaced and are living in IDP camps. In her photos she shows the sadness of the survivors of the horrid attacks, the vulnerability, poverty, and the fear for their lives.
