Original – A villager in Darfur, Sudan, crosses the overflowing stream.
Reason
The Darfur region of Sudan is a conflict zone that is subject to a strict travel regime. Visits outside the capital (Khartoum) are almost impossible except for international officials and require a special permit. This restriction is tightly controlled by police checkpoints set up at the entrance and exit of each town (town, not city). Photographing official buildings is strictly prohibited, even in large cities, and even carrying cameras on neck or hand is equivalent to potential suspect. People do not want to take photos, and if the photo is seen without permission, either the photo is deleted or a payment is requested. The photo was taken by cellphone under these conditions. This photo taken in the rural area of South Darfur is unique. Since the place where it was taken is a desert, it contrasts with the creek overflowing during the rainy season. Therefore, my opinion is it should be a FP according to Criteria 3, 4, 5. Photo caption can be changed. Thanks in advance for your comments and suggestions.
@Sca: I could not shoot this photo nearby people, because "People do not want to take photos, and if the photo is seen without permission, either the photo is deleted or a payment is requested." Regards. ChanSey 15:18, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
Oppose. Having good reasons for not being able to take a high-quality and encyclopedic image does not justify an image that does not meet those standards. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:49, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
