Darfuris fled a conflict over basic resources in Sudan 6 years ago, to a country already struggling with its own limitations, ushering Eastern Chad into a conflict of its own. These photographs were taken in 2008, but the situation remains the same: critical.

Some called it political genocide, others said it teetered on ethnic cleansing. Either way, it’s a raw look at the face of street justice and the brutalities that accompany it in a society that largely lacks juridical recourse. Graphic Content
