This sequence of three instantaneous photographs has been taken in Asmara some month ago. The photographer is a diplomat, who has passed the photos to the Corriere [Della Sera]. This is his story: "I was parking my car in one street in the center of the Eritrean capital, when from the other part of the road I saw a pick up truck to which soldiers were pushing about twenty boys. I understood that it was a raid of young people to be sent to the ill-famed and hated Sawa military camp. One of the boys tried to escape by crossing the road. He did not make it. He was hit by a hail of gunfire. Then a man in uniform approached and finished the boy by shooting him at close range. His body remained on the asphalt for more than an hour. To me it seemed a warning for anyone who tries to rebel against the regime” (M.A.A.)
