These photos show civilians killed by janjaweed militias in Darfur. They were taken by members of the African Union mission in Darfur, and kept in a secret archive. A person of conscience working with the AU passed them to Nicholas Kristof of the New York Times, who passed them to us.
We apologize if you find the pictures upsetting. They are the only record we have of the 400,000 people killed in Darfur so far.
