BOSSASO, SOMALIA, 20 REFUGEES KILLED IN EXPLOSION IN CAMP
news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7229536.stm

Alixandra Fazzina has been following since 2007 the story of the African refugees, mainly Ethiopian, who will risk everything to cross the Gulf of Aden to Yemen and a new life. Fazzina is one of the few photographers to have documented the refugees, the camps in Bossaso, the smugglers and the embarcation onto the boats for their perilous crossing. The dangers stacked against them, from the elements, the authorities, to the smugglers themselves. This story by Alixandra Fazzina was recently featured in The Sunday Times Magazine.

Mark Blanco

The tragic death of Mark Blanco at the beginning of December brutally cut the life of a brilliant man and dear friend. Mark was a vital part of many peoples' lives, who now want to have it made transparent exactly what took him so tragically away. His profound intelligence coupled with humility, creativity and above all humour, touched many. Always appearing with something to give or show or share, from a steak in his pocket to a rare book, magic trick or just to dip in and out of his vast knowledge of so many things, Mark was a unique spirit, whose untimely death has left many deepely saddened. He will be missed.
