Halima Bashir | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

The first memoir from a woman born and raised in South Darfur, TEARS OF THE DESERT is an incredibly powerful first-hand account of the horrors of the genocide. Halima Bashir was subjected to horrific torture and her village terrorised and destroyed. She treated the traumatised victims herself and was sickened by what she saw. Halima decided to speak out to the UN charities and this inspiring story tells of one woman's determination to survive and her passion to defend her people. For the first time, we can truly understand the personal horrors of Darfur from someone who lived through it.
