In 1998, yielding to the international pressure, the Sudanese government allowed good aid to be distributed to the south. British photojournalist Tom Stoddart travelled with Medicins Sans Frontieres (MSF) to a camp in Ajiep, where more than 100 people were dying every day. There he took the above photo of a crippled boy who had queued hours for food, only to find it robbed away from him by a fit man who strides confidently away.
Stoddart received overwhelming criticism for his image, people demanding why he did not intervene. He responded, “I am a photographer, not a policeman or an aid worker. All I can do is try to tell the truth as I see it with my camera.”

“I don’t think I will ever change,” Rose said. “There’s no point in changing. My mother let me know that basketball is just a sport and I shouldn’t think I’m better than anyone because I can hit a layup. So if I ever came to her bragging about anything, she’ll definitely let me know that I’ve changed or bring me back down to reality. I think I have a good group of people around me who won’t let that happen.”
