WINDOWS AND DOORS






        DESTRUCTION AND DISPLACEMENT
      Abeyi -   Sudan

Thousands of civilians were affected, first in 2008 and again in 2011, by the conflict in Abeyi, a town on the border between Sudan and South Sudan.

These photos were taken by Steven Hind and tell a story of killing, looting, disputes and tensions. This hospital was destroyed in the last fighting in 2011.


the shooting and looting
cause destruction and pain
women are raped
and children are maimed
all that remain
are ashes and ruins

disputes and tension
conflict and war
is it all about oil or is it the soil
senseless killing of innocent souls
soldiers, artillery
weapons and hate

the mighty Nile's spirit
with it's fertile floods
witnessed atrocities
and the violence of war
her spirit is crying
for freedom and peace
