Feraz: You and Lord just dey vex this night. But I cannot fault your submission. . .I understand you.
I'm very fine. Chief just look at how many likes the first person that unfairly condemned Carter got and you'd understand the reason for the anger. People read responses and accept them as fact. So when people read responses that are untrue, they accept these untrue responses as facts. And then convince other people. When enough people convince other people, this untrue conjecture is then accepted as widely-acknowledged fact and the truth is fazed off or taken as blind justification. History is rewritten and good people are labeled as bad people. It's that easy. We may have been a tad off with our retorts, but considering the issue at hand (and especially noting that the problems that the issue is meant to address is still on-going, kids are still starving in Sudan as the conflict rages on as we speak), you can understand why we are livid that fellow Africans can be so unfair to one of their own (Carter is South African) without so much as doing a thorough check. -Lord 5 Likes 1 Share |

Massacre....he was joined by others and they shot the Senator guy(Ryan something),some members of the delegate(press inclusive) and some of the defectees who wanted to leave. The boss had to make them all drink the poison before the authorities got to him. The picture gives me the creeps everytime I remember. Gosh! Sorry for my long epistle.

The kid got to the feeding center safely, you irresponsible dimbat.
As I said you are an ignorant oaf that doesn't deserve to live.
If you can't pay attention and confirm what happened and didn't happen before hastily passing judgement, you would appear very stu*id. He fended off the vulture and ensured the child got to the feeding center. He couldn't do any more than that. And he accurately said that he wasn't sure that child would survive for long.
Have you ever visited North Korea or Cuba or any of the repressive regimes around the world? Do you know that you can't go with a camera with a resolution of more than 20m in North Korea, and when you leave your photos are scrutinized and questionable ones are deleted?
Do you know how many journalists and photographers trying to get the word out in these despicable regions get killed annually?
Or do you think if he had tried to take that child back with him and got shot by the soldiers who were under stern orders not to let him interfere, that we would have that picture?
Why not you take a camera and go to war-torn South Sudan or Somalia or CAR and take pictures and start ferrying people you feel deserve help to Nigeria you judgemental pr*ck. Let's see if you'd ever make it out of Sudan alive on your first voyage.
So Carter is the enemy now? For showing us a picture that we only hear in the stories and rarely believe?
You are despicable.
I know people like you are used to seeing burnt remains of people, crushed heads of murder victims, starving kids accused of witchcraftcy, shallow graves filled with murdered protesters. Carter was not. He couldn't stomach all the horrors he saw in Sudan and ended the depression the only way he knew how to.
Not everyone is a cold, numbless, emotionally-scarred neophyte like you.
Carter has gone to a better place. That photo while drawing condemnation from harbingers of death like you also drew outrage from good people who pressured International intervention that resulted in the splitting of Sudan. While that may not have been enough, Carter saved more lives in his death than you have in your lifetime.
The world loses good people when people like Carter dies. You on the other hand would not be missed.

Nothing could have stopped him from making sure the kid got to the feeding center safely but you are there making up stories to defend the guy. So why did he kill himself? I think he could not face the shame of his wicked action and indifference to that kid You will make a very bad judge... Think rationally. 2 Likes |

Don't believe anything everything u see or hear from the Internet..
Who captured the picture? And allowed d man got away with the corn.. (the food there looks like corn)
And why would a sane person share this as a food to almost half dead human? Where does the good samaritan thinks this being would get stove or gas to cook this meal?
Think of these things now.. And tell me..
And if it's true(which I know it's not, the kid might be probably begging the man for food) why did the photographer or who ever took that pics not fight for the child? Cos from the pics here.. It's clearly known that a matured photographer might have been d one that took that shot.

Explorers: Starving Sudanese child is stalked, and eyed hungrily, by a starving vulture.
This contrast of a plump vulture and a starving, emaciated Sudanese girl is striking, alarming and won the photographer, Kevin Carter, a Pulitzer Prize for feature photography.
The girl was on her way to a feeding center, when she collapsed.
When asked about the fate of the girl, Kevin Carter said that she resumed her trek to the center, while he chased away the vulture.
However, he added, that it is unlikely she survived. You forgot to add that the image captured by this photographer (Kevin carter) hunted him for years until he finally committed suicide. |

Good observation. The picture doesn’t correlate with the wording of the captured photograph. Indeed not everything you see or read on the internet/news media is true/factual and one needs to be cautious when viewing text and pictures portrayed on the internet/news media as true/factual so as to avoid being deceived as we are now in the era of news being term as FAKE NEWS.
