Time Magazine exposed some sad photos by William Daniel that show the atrocities of the war in the Central African Republic. Why we ask you to look in our headline is because our country is presently on the brink of civil war, indeed former Head of State Yakubu Gowon over the weekend said we are in a full-scale civil war.
This is just to remind the enemies of peace in Nigeria of what war can look like. The Central African Republic is suffering from untold religious conflict and as usual, women and children are the ones bearing the extreme pain and suffering of the war that appears to have no end in sight.
Some of the images are of a graphic nature and some viewers may find them disturbing. Viewer discretion is advised.

MSF has osculted her but there is no place in Bangui able to treat such case and to know what she suffers from she should go to the center, which is too dangerous for muslims.
