Why read about Sierra Leone? The south of the continent offers hope, the north pungent collisions of cultures and religions. Whereas the west's savage disarray is best captured by this anecdote from Teun Voeten's harrowing war reportage How De Body? Stopped by a random horde of drugged children with automatic weapons somewhere in the brush outside Freetown, Liberia, Dutch photojournalist Voeten realizes that survival is entirely arbitrary. When his captors merely rob him, his simple gratitude is entirely sincere: "Thank you for not killing me."
