This isn't quite news - but there is a guy on reddit who claims to be a meth addict fighting in the Sudan Civil War. Everyone is apparently running around on drugs there, people are falling out of aeroplanes as they drop their makeshift bombs on semi-randomly selected targets.

I tineyed some of his images, he doesn't seem to be lying about being there. I guess he could just be a poser enjoying the cheap drugs. Anyway, it makes a change from high-level, abstract depictions of these endless sub-Saharan civil wars.
