Litter Accumulation in Khartoum

Litter accumulation became an ordinary scene in Khartoum . It no longer provokes actions or reactions. It seems people have developed “litter blindness” which can identified as getting used to litter as part of everyday life. So instead of suffering from one crises , we have two to deal with. I have captured a lot of photos representing our modern life , and focused on the bright side , but when I realized that problem I felt disappointed. Our problem started by lack of proper services by related authorities , by not collecting garbage from neighborhoods ,or by collecting it once every ten days, some people started to act on their own . Most of them burned their litter in public squares-reserved for future parks without real awareness . The related authorities failed to conduct their mission , yet they charge citizens for a service not being provided . Unfortunately many health problems are caused by harming the environment . In absence of good health services the overall situation is disastrous. The images were taken at Al- Abbassia North in Omdurman ,Sudan .
