darfur unamid photo of the week

On 12 April 2017, the United Nations Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) and Youth Union held a peace festival in the Al Salam camp for displaced persons in North Darfur, Sudan. More than 1,500 people attended the event, which included traditional dances and a musical concert.

This photo was taken by Amin Ismail.

In our Photo of the Week, we showcase one of the boldest and most beautiful images, old or new, that we’ve come across that week. If you’d like to submit a photograph to be featured, please email editor@africanarguments.org.
