I have to disagree with Cotty (a few posts back) too. I think the contrast between the person in the forground, and the person in the the wheelchair is profound. It shows the difference is really between having family and friends, and not, rather than the physical disability. The grand monuments in the background show what is important to the government (not people).
This is not an exploitive photo, but a statement about our instututions in the
current world.
I would however have preferred that the guy in the wheelchair was not quite so
close to the edge of the frame.
