Adam Abakar

A native Darfurian, Adam had just completted college in Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, when he heard disturbing reports coming from his home area. His own government and hired militias were killing the people in his area. He returned to Darfur and worked as a translator and genocide investigator for several organizations including the African Union. Frustrated by the ongoing genocide and lack of action, he began secretly documenting the atrocities and gathering evidence of his government's involvement in the ethnic cleansing of the black indigenous people. He did this at the risk of his own life until he was caught by government troops, escaped, and had to flee the country.

Now he is here in the U.S. sharing his photos and his personal experience to expose the atrocities and bring awareness to the dire situation in Darfur.
