3 April 2012. El Fasher: Abdurrahim Ahmed Mohamed (12 years old) is pictured in his house in Al Salam camp for displaced persons. Abdurrahim lost his right hand and the sight on his left eye due to a detonation of an unexploded ordnance (UXO).
It happened in 2008 in Kabkabiya, his original village, when Abdurrahim and his friends found the UXO near his house. They started playing with it until it detonated.
Abdurrahim, who wants to become a doctor, is still struggling to learn how to write with his left hand.
UXOs are explosive weapons (bombs, bullets, shells, grenades, land mines, naval mines, etc.) that did not explode when they were employed and still pose a risk of detonation, potentially many decades after they were used or discarded.
Tomorrow, 4th April, is the International Day of Mine Awareness. In Darfur, as a consequence of the ongoing conflict, UXOs is one of the main problems for the civilians, specially children. Hundreds of them have been mutilated.

Between this, the arrows, and the other random bombs, you have to wonder just how much explosive stuff Dutch had.

Même les jeunes filles (Even the Young Girls), 1966
by Dorothea Tanning
By this time I had been finding real pleasure in the tumultuous movement of bodies combined with more assertive juxtapositions of color, hotter color. I think it was late springtime; and I was in my beautiful new studio in the rue de Lille. Outside, people were doffing their coats and mufflers, the boulevards were lazy with strollers and even the young girls were like wildflowers, all bursting our in color and explosive spirits. Painting them, I felt like a choreographer.

Part of Dorothea Tanning
At Tate Modern, February to June 2019
Tanning wanted to depict ‘unknown but knowable states’: to suggest there was more to life than meets the eye. She first encountered surrealism in New York in the 1930s. In the 1940s, her powerful self-portrait Birthday 1942 attracted the attention of fellow artist Max Ernst – they married in 1946. Her work from this time combines the familiar with the strange, exploring desire and sexuality.From the 1950s, now working in Paris, Tanning’s paintings became more abstract, and in the 1960s she started making pioneering sculptures out of fabric. A highlight of the exhibition is the room-sized installation Chambre 202, Hotel du Pavot 1970-3. This sensual and eerie work features bodies growing out the walls of an imaginary hotel room. In later life, Tanning dedicated more of her time to writing. Her last collection of poems, Coming to That, was published at the age of 101.

So I have decided that this is a space vessel of some sort, go ahead and try to disprove it if you desire. Just another shot for the set, sadly no new builds on the go this weekend.

An Afghan National Civil Order Policeman leads his team during a 360-degree security sweep of the perimeter during a training exercise at the Camp Hero Explosive Hazards Reduction Course (EHRC) for Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) in southern Kandahar province April 5. Thirty students spend four weeks learning from two coalition and two Afghan instructors about the Taliban’s tactics, how to identify vulnerable points, to confirm the presence of an Improvised Explosive Device, and how to remove the threat of IEDs. Coalition partners from Task Force Paladin (South) believe that solely Afghan instructors will staff the course by mid-to-late summer of this year. (Photo/U.S. Army Sgt. Amanda M. Hils)
