PARFAIT KARI WADJORÉ – “Memories” Campaign UNOCT/UNCCT Global Victims of Terrorism Support Programme

Parfait Kari Wadjoré survived a Boko Haram attack on 19 December 2014 while he and his colleagues were on a business trip to Garoua, in Cameroon. Reuniting with his son as he recovered from the assault brought back his joy of living and his smile. A 2015 photo taken less than two months after the attack captures what to him is an expression of victory. Part of our shared human experience is an innate need to attach personal meaning to physical objects: it is something we do from the moment of our birth. Physical objects hold memories, emotions, aspirations: they form links to people no longer with us, and they keep us connected to versions of ourselves that were lost or forever changed—sometimes through growth or the passage of time, sometimes by a traumatic event, such as a terrorist attack. The Memories Exhibition shares the intimate memories of victims of terrorism such as Parfait, and the personal meaning tied to physical objects they hold dear. Through film and photography, it highlights these stories belonging to the twenty-two portrayed victims of terrorism. The Exhibition was launched in May 2022 at the High-Level Conference on Human Rights, Civil Society and Counter-Terrorism held in Malaga, Spain, and continued to be showcased at the Global Congress of Victims of Terrorism held from 8-9 September, 2022, at the UN Headquarters in New York.
