SIERRA LEONE, AMPUTEE.LIFE AS AN AMPUTEEAbu Bakarr Kargbo, 31, was one of the thousands of amputees afflicted by the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) atrocities during the civil war that devastated Sierra Leone from 1991 till 2002. He was amputated by the rebels at the eastern part of the Capital in January 20, 1999 when they attacked Freetown. Unlike other amputees, he was not given the choice of what version of 'cut arm' or 'cut hand' he wanted - long sleeves or short sleeves. Today, he lives with his wife and his three children under poor conditions in an abandoned camp for amputees, northwest of the capital, Freetown.World Press Photo, First Prize, Contemporary Issues Singles, 2006
