Guatemala is one of the most violent countries in the world. 95% of murders remain unsolved and the ultra-violent maras manage drug trafficking, prostitution and racketeering in the country and spread terror among the population. After several weeks of negotiation, we gained access to some of these gangs. In the favela of Vilanueva, Pedro is at the head of Barrio 18. That he has reached the age of 32 is practically a miracle. It’s rare for gang members to live past 25. The police who try and control his gang are woefully under-equipped. Sometimes, they even have to buy their own ammunition. Faced with these shocking levels of violence and an impotent police force, many citizens are choosing to arm themselves. Gun sales have increased by 20% in just one year. Others prefer to join local militants and combat the gangs directly.

How can you have a normal family life when one of your parents is considered to be "an enemy of the State," a Soviet term that is coming back in use by the Russian authorities full force and which is once again insinuating itself into the lives of many Russians? For two years, Olga Kravets followed the daily lives of four prisoners' families with young children: before, during and after a trial carried out for strictly political reasons. Their stories are a chronology of repression, intimately told through the daily routine of these families.

On May 30, the Extraordinary African Chambers in the Senegalese Courts sentenced Hissène Habré - the Chadian president from June 1982 to December 1990 - to life in prison for crimes against humanity, torture and war crimes. The verdict is a first in Africa, in many respects. Pronounced by African judges mandated by the African Union, and in large part financed by African countries, the sentence sends out a strong message against impunity on the African continent. But 26 years after the fall of Hissène Habré, and his subsequent flight to Senegal, how to make sense of this trial? How to appease the victims so long after the facts? How to recount a trial that took place 5,000 kilometres away?
