EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo by Thomas Mukoya, an assortment of 5250 illicit firearms and small weapons is displayed in various stockpiles before their imminent destruction. The photograph captures the exterior scene at Ngong hills near Kenya's capital Nairobi on November 15,2016. The arrangement of these armaments creates a striking visual impact against the backdrop of a clear sky with fluffy clouds. Towering piles of military-grade weaponry stand as a testament to the creative use of space and organization within an armoury setting. Notably absent from the image are any people, emphasizing the magnitude and gravity of this collection. Each firearm represents a potential threat to peace and security, making it imperative for such illegal weapons to be removed from circulation. This display serves as a reminder that Kenyan authorities are actively engaged in multiple security operations aimed at safeguarding citizens' well-being. Soon after this photograph was taken, these instruments of destruction were destined for obliteration—a necessary step towards maintaining public safety. The photographer skillfully captures both the enormity and fragility surrounding issues related to arms proliferation. Thomas Mukoya's powerful composition sheds light on Kenya's commitment to combatting illicit firearms while also prompting viewers to reflect upon broader global challenges associated with gun control and disarmament efforts.
