EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the aftermath of the devastating Biafra conflict that ravaged Nigeria in the 1960s. Taken during the Daily Mirror's courageous attempt to reach the refugee camps of Onitsha and Asaba, it offers a poignant glimpse into the heart-wrenching consequences of war. The image portrays a solemn soldier meticulously inspecting the ruins of Onitsha market place, which was tragically blown and gutted during fierce fighting for control over this town. The scene is one of utter destruction and devastation, as buildings lay in ruins and rubble covers what once thrived with life. The soldier's presence highlights both his duty to protect his people and his deep sorrow for witnessing such desolation firsthand. His uniform bears witness to an army torn apart by internal strife, reflecting not only physical battles but also emotional turmoil endured by all involved. John Varley skillfully captured this moment on July 16th, 1968, immortalizing a significant chapter in African history through his lens. This photograph serves as a reminder that wars leave behind scars that extend far beyond mere physical structures – they forever alter lives and communities. It stands as a testament to resilience amidst unimaginable hardship while urging us to reflect upon humanity's capacity for compassion and understanding in times of crisis.
