There is no one remotely like Tomo Križnar. Over decades, with singular courage and conviction he has journeyed through the most remote and perilous parts of Darfur and Southern Sudan documenting atrocities, taking photographs, and compiling information that is as invaluable as his humanitarian endeavours.
