EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the haunting aftermath of an attack on a school in Dapchi, Nigeria. The image reveals an empty classroom, once filled with eager students seeking knowledge but now abandoned and destroyed. The room is in disarray, with damaged walls and a dirty floor reflecting the chaos that unfolded here. The creative use of lighting highlights the fan implement hanging from the ceiling, motionless as if frozen in time. Through a broken window, faint rays of sunlight seep into the room, casting shadows on a solitary school desk left untouched amidst the ruins. The absence of people intensifies the feeling of fear and stress that must have consumed this space during Boko Haram's assault. It serves as a chilling reminder of how armed conflicts can disrupt innocent lives and shatter educational institutions. Afolabi Sotunde's poignant composition captures not only physical destruction but also symbolizes hopelessness and despair. This photograph stands as evidence to remind us all of the urgent need for peace and security in regions plagued by violence.
