Tawia, Sudan.
These are villagers of Darfur facing not only the threat of genocide but also unfrendly drought with a potential dangerous and sudden cloud burst causing erosion.
Noted in the foreground of the picture, the youngster seeking milk from it's mother burrow. Drought affects people and lifestock alike. I would imagine the burrow serves as a source of milk for the family as well as it's young. The wisest investment this family makes is to be sure the female lactating burrow is well hydrated and fed as she supplies nutrients as well as fluid to all of them.
