In 1993, a famine in Sudan occurred amidst political unrest and the then ongoing Second Sudanese Civil War.
Aftermath In Kongor, the famine killed 20,000 and made 100,000 people leave the region.
The vulture and the little girl This famine was the subject of Pulitzer Prize-winning photography The Vulture and the Little Girl taken by South African photojournalist Kevin Carter. Carter died by suicide shortly after being awarded the prize, possibly a result of trauma from witnessing the effects of the famine first-hand.
