    Voici mon frère Odong assis à côté de la maison la nuit sous un ciel étoilé. Les étoiles sont très importantes car elles nous renseignent sur le temps. Par exemple "Latwok", qui est une grande étoile, nous pouvons la suivre à travers le ciel du coucher au lever du soleil. A plusieurs reprises, les étoiles nous ont aussi aidé lorsque nous tentions d'échapper aux rebelles, elles nous éclairaient. Aussi lorsque un enfant pleurait et risquait de nous faire entendre par les rebelles, nous lui disions que les étoiles allaient lui tombé dessus, alors il regardait le ciel et tellement effrayé il arrêtait immédiatement de pleurer.

    C'est la rivière Toshi. C'est ici que je faisais ma toilette lorsque que j'étais au camp de Bobi, car elle coule juste à côté du camp.
    Aujourd'hui je n'y vais que très rarement à cause de la distance qui nous sépare.

    C'est ici que j'ai perdu ma jambe sur une mine terrestre. C'est arrivé tôt le matin, j'allais travailler aux champs. Il avait plut, je ne pouvais pas bien voir le chemin, tout était boueux et couvert de feuilles. J'ai marché dessus, la mine a explosé instantanément. J'ai passé trois à l'hôpital et suis revenue à la maison avec un seul pied, pour découvrir que mon mari avait été tué par les rebelles.

    Je suis heureuse d'être revenue ici. Je n'y étais jamais retourner avant et j'avais peur. Je pensais que j'allais marcher sur une autre mine terrestre mais cela n'est pas arrivé.
    Maintenant que je marche sereinement là bas, je sais que je peux parcourir le monde entier.

    Mirnmy est un centre minier de diamant. Une fois par semaine en moyenne on fait exploser la roche dans la mine de diamant. Ces explosions produisent un nuage de poussière et de gaz orange. Selon le vent et le temps qu'il fait ce nuage peut rester au dessus du puits pendant plusieurs jours, obligeant à cesser tout travail dans la mine pendant ce temps.

    Severny pit is one of five coal mines still operating around Vorkuta. A decade ago there were 13.
    Average life expectancy for a miner in the Far North is around 54, but many die in their forties.
    Vorkuta is a coal mining and former Gulag town 1,200 miles north east of Moscow, beyond the Arctic Circle, where temperatures in winter drop to -50C.
    Here, whole villages are being slowly deserted and reclaimed by snow, while the financial crisis is squeezing coal mining companies that already struggle to find workers.
    Moscow says its Far North is a strategic region, targeting huge investment to exploit its oil and gas resources. But there is a paradox: the Far North is actually dying. Every year thousands of people from towns and cities in the Russian Arctic are fleeing south. The system of subsidies that propped up Siberia and the Arctic in the Soviet times has crumbled. Now there’s no advantage to living in the Far North - salaries are no higher than in central Russia and prices for goods are higher.

    Reindeer herders Simyon and Vanya travel hours by sled from their tent in the tundra to buy supplies at the village shop in Sovetsky.
    Nomadic people like them have a mutually cautious relationship with the Russians who live in the Far North.
    Vorkuta is a coal mining and former Gulag town 1,200 miles north east of Moscow, beyond the Arctic Circle, where temperatures in winter drop to -50C.
    Here, whole villages are being slowly deserted and reclaimed by snow, while the financial crisis is squeezing coal mining companies that already struggle to find workers.
    Moscow says its Far North is a strategic region, targeting huge investment to exploit its oil and gas resources. But there is a paradox: the Far North is actually dying. Every year thousands of people from towns and cities in the Russian Arctic are fleeing south. The system of subsidies that propped up Siberia and the Arctic in the Soviet times has crumbled. Now there’s no advantage to living in the Far North - salaries are no higher than in central Russia and prices for goods are higher.

    Un mineur de charbon se lave après une journée passée au fond de la mine.
    Malgré qu'ils soient relativement bien payés, pour extraire le charbon à haute teneur de l'Ukraine, ils risquent des explosions de gaz et sont souvent confrontés à des pannes de matériel. On estime qu'un mineur meurt pour chaque million de tonnes de charbon extrait - 10 fois plus que le taux de décès chez les mineurs de fond aux USA.
