Brian Steidle went to Darfur and came back with these photographs. One shows a one year-old girl with a lower left back ripped open by bullets. Another, the village of Um Zeifa as it is engulfed by flames. Another, a man's body lying on he parched earth in the village of Amaka Sara. And another, a human rib cage lying in a ditch outside the village of Adwa. Powerful stuff.

Brian says that trying to get someone, anyone to stop what is happening in Darfur is like "screaming in a dream." Must be.

Brian's a former Marine and was in Darfur as a government contractor.
