“Omdurman is a town of […] sun-baked mud-brick houses, with distinct foci of concrete buildings. […] After a year of shelling, its old, squat adobe structures, […] designed for impending mortality, were left more shocked than shattered, while the new, taller concrete ones were aching and breaking.”

This is one of the most harrowing stories I've read about contemporary Mexico, and that's to say sth... I'm glad it is being published in English-language outlets. Do read it if you are interested in Latin America/Human Rights/Violence: A great investigation by top journalists.
