It’s quite rare that I post and share the same content exactly in the same time on most of the blogs I admin. Here is an example which is central to my work as a photographer, an activist and as a human being:

‘Children growing up in a war become a wounded generation. They suffer the loss of human dignity. A generation that is itself unstable has trouble passing on stability to their own children. This means that a community can never move on. Trauma and severe mental distress do not just go away. Coordinated assistance is needed.’

War's trauma endures long after the last shot is fired – broken souls need rebuilding

While the world is quick to provide food and tents when conflicts end, the mental scars are neglected

Why, why, why?

Why 71 people risked their lives almost three years ago in Hungary a member of the European Union? I suspect that this is the most important question here. All the details and the discussion about the smugglers, their cruelty, the money, the truck and the shocking indifference is just derailing the real conversation: why 71 people who previously traveled through war and conflict zones decided to risk their lives in the European Union? Why they treated Hungary as a war zone? Concerning the role of journalism I am very much surprised that many of the great papers, such as The Guardian, The New York Times fail to ask this simple question: who is ultimately responsible for this tragedy?

Filmbe illő küzdelem dúl a déli határon, Magyarország játssza a rosszakat

'We asked the immigration authority why they keep innocent people in prison-like conditions, why they handcuff pregnant women, and why the provide poor care. They told us that there is no truth to what our sources – asylum-seekers independent of one another, the lawyer, and the UNHCR – have said.'

Midnight in Zakany / Éjfélkor Zákányban

The Zakany-Gyekenyes border crossing and the migrant trail is closed down for one year. So as the country. It is hard to remember Zakany and even harder to forget it. Those few who were there could have foreseen what has been going on at the southern border of Hungary since then: deaths and beatings in suspicious circumstances, wounds healing for weeks, refugee kids, adults and pregnant women lost in the middle of nowhere.

Click on the link bellow to read more about the last night at Zakany

Egy éve zárt a Zákány-Gyékényesnél határ, és az ország. Zákányra nehéz emlékezni, mégnehezebb elfelejteni. Azon kevesek akik ott voltak, előre láthatták azt, ami azóta a déli határon történik: rejtélyes halálesetek, verések, hetekig gyógyuló sebesülések, a pusztában veszteglő menekült gyerekek, felnőttek, várandós nők.

Zákány utolsó estéjéről a linkre kattintva olvashattok:

S hogy a történelem ítélőszéke elé majd ne neki egyedül kelljen állnia, rafinált módon immár írásba is kéri adni a minősített többség bűnrészességre való hajlandóságát. Nem csoda: ily módon legfeljebb csak felbujtóként mondhat majd felette ítéletet az utókor.

A Hungarian mayor makes a show of "migrant-hunting"

Follow international news through our Observers' amateur images and eyewitness testimony. All the content is verified and explained by our journalists.

“What's worrying is that he's started a sort of fad. More and more groups are forming to 'hunt' migrants at the Serbian border. The idea of 'self-defence,' of taking up arms ‘against the invaders,' is spreading, even if we're still talking about a fairly small number of people.”
