Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Original caption: "Nsala of Wala in the Nsongo District (ABIR Concession)". The original description says that Nsala sits "with the hand and foot of his little girl of five years old -- all that remained of a cannibal feast by armed rubber sentries. The sentries killed his wife, his daughter, and a son, cutting up the bodies, cooking and eating them." The "rubber sentries" refer to the ABIR militia. The image has been published on several websites with the caption "A father stares at the hands of his five year-old daughter, which were severed as a punishment for having harvested too little caoutchouc/rubber".
