Beware of vultures in Uganda’s politics

They called this Picture “THE VULTURE AND THE LITTLE GIRL” back then.

This photo of a Vulture waiting for a starving Sudanese Girl to die was taken by Kevin Carter who later won the Pulitzer for THIS PICTURE, but he lived just few months to enjoy his ‘supposed achievement’ because he later got depressed and took his own life.

He was actually savouring the moment and the feat of capturing the Picture via his Camera lens and being celebrated on major News Channels and Networks across the Globe .

His depression started when during one of his numerous LIVE interviews (a phone in program) someone phoned in and asked him… “What happened to the Child”.

He replied, “I didn’t wait to find out after this memorable Shot as I had a Plane to catch.”…
And the Person replied,
“I put it to you that there were two Vultures on that day and One had a Camera “. His constant thought of that statement, led to depression and his ultimate suicide.

LESSON: In whatsoever we do, let humanity come first before what we can gain out of the situation folks.

Kevin Carter could have been alive today if he just picked that little Girl up and chose to take her to the United Nation’s Feeding Center where she (the poor little and helpless Girl) was attempting to reach.
