Mohammed, 41, Mustafa, 19, and Abdul Rahim, 23 (L to R), are all prisoners of war captured during the recent battle at Daldoko. “I wanted to end my life when I found out we were fighting Muslim brothers,” professed Mustafa, “I asked to be shot.” When asked what he wanted now, he confessed his desire to go home, but still felt he deserved to die. “God will not forgive me.” Read more about their stories in James Verini's dispatch from Nuba.
