Description
Destruction
Quant je suis arrivée au Timor Oriental la première fois, pendant la guerre em 1999, tout était détruit. Tout un pays devasté, incendié, pillé. Selon les calculs, le pays avait était brulé à 90% par l´armée indonesienne. La vision était halucinante.
Même parmi les correspondants de guerre les plus expérimentés, personne n´avait vu cela. Au Liban, où les combats avaient été terribles, la destruction était par quartiers, pas toute la ville.
Même les Khmers Rouges avaient vidé complètement Phnonh
Phen, avaient laissé une ville phantôme, mais intacte.
Dés que la porte de l´avion de transport de troupes, un Hercules 130 ( merci L´Armée Française !) s´est ouverte, je savais, avant de voir.
Tout était brulé.
L´odeur était terrible, insuportable.
Destruction
As I arrived at East Timor the first time, during war EM 1999, all was destroyed. A whole devastated country, set fire to, plundered. According to calculations, the country had was burned to 90% by Indonesian army. The vision was halucinante.
Even among the war correspondents more expérients, nobody had seen that. In Lebanon, where the combat had been terrible, the destruction was by districts, not all the hurdy-gurdy.
Even the Khmer Rouges had emptied completely Phnonh
Phen, had left a ghost city, but intact.
When the door of transport of troops plane, a Hercules 130 (thank you French Army!) is open , I knew, before seeing. All is burned. The smell was terrible, insuportable.

Yet after all this carnage, the chidren can sit on burnt out vehicles and smile. It truly is shameful, this is the only life the children know, to them this is normal. The adult populace should know that 'we do not own the world, we are merely cartakers for future generations' it is these future generations that I fear for. Excellent photography!!!!!

Excellente photo qui témoigne de l'absurdité et du gaspillage que nous faisons de nos vies, de notre monde, tout en montrant l'espoir des générations futures, à travers les enfants. Bon travail.

Amiga, perfecta captura, triste, cual debe ser los juegos en esa basura para los niños , mas ellos con su infinita blancura en su alma, no lo ven , o si lo hacen ??? ojala que no, pues son ellos como angeles y nosotros los adultos, nos encargamos de quitar esa alma blanca , enceñar lo que es "no para todo" y EL MIEDO A TODO....................... Mi amiga , gracias por compartir. x ♥♥ x.

the ravages of war never make sense or the loss of innocent life's.I think people on a whole want a peaceful life and a few arrogant greedy people create the atmosphere for conflicts.dragging everyone into the quagmire

An horrific scene. As always the children and the weak suffer the most. I hope these little children found help. Humankind has a lot to answer for... Your shot speaks thousands of words.. Diane.

Wars are indeed horrible. Our country's anniversary of the planes hitting the World Trade Center and the Pentagon is tomorrow... 9-11 or as we call it 911. Binlaudin (spelling?) just put out a video and you can tell he's aged. Our country feels tomorrow could get scarey. It is not good to live in fear. What a smell you must of smelt when you shot this picture.

Great capture....

We are learning much from your excellent photography. The reportage reveals the inhuman conduct against other humans. We are the only species that kills and destroys for no reason at all. Thank you for sharing. egmont
