A book published last week, Inside Insurgency, features a photo of mine taken while with the SPLA in Sudan during a 2006 trip.
Once considered nationalists, many insurgent groups are now labeled as terrorists and thought to endanger not just their own people, but the world. As the unprecedented trends in political violence among insurgents have [...]

The UNFPA is using another batch of images surrounding population dynamics and climate change on their current website.

This particular image, used on their current home page, was taken in the dusty cattle camps of southern Sudan. The woman in the photo was gathering and spreading burned  cow manure so that later on those in that village could spread [...]
