I spent many hours in the hospitals
photographing people in various
stages of amputation. Most of the victims were resigned
to their fate and often joked
with me. Having the support of their peers, from either
side of the political fence, was
their main source of inspiration. Unfortunately
there was not a lot of support or understanding
when they return to their home villages,
now as amputees. There are few places for them
in a war torn agrarian society.
