Sudanese Photographer Shares Personal Experience Documenting His Country’s Ongoing War [Interview]
“If we don’t document it, who will? Not just through news headlines or politics, but through real human experiences. I felt a responsibility, especially as someone who stayed behind, to show the world what was happening, and to leave behind a trace of our voices and our lives during this time.”

Among those affected is Mosab Abushama, whose photography hobby turned into something much more at the outbreak of the conflict. After fleeing with his family to a safer part of his hometown, Omdurman, he quickly realized that life would never be the same. Suddenly, the visual diary he had kept to document his daily life had transformed him into a war photographer. Secretly snapping while volunteering at a hospital or helping to dig graves, Abushama created a shocking portrayal of the reality of war.
