A powerful image from the Republic of Congo during the 1997 civil unrest, capturing a young Franco-Congolese girl holding her white cat as two French soldiers escort her along an empty road near Brazzaville airport. Surrounded by armed forces, her calm expression and firm grip on her pet offer a moving contrast to the tension around her. This moment was captured during evacuations to Libreville as fighting eased in the bullet-scarred capital.
