Crisis on the Border
I spent a month wandering around the desert of Eastern Chad where a quarter million Darfur refugees are sustained by international aid agencies. European troops had just arrived under UN mandate to mount a peace-keeping mission to protect aid workers, locals and refugees from bandits and violence spilling over the border with Sudan. Darfuris fled a conflict over basic resources in Sudan 6 years ago, to a country already struggling with its own limitations, ushering Eastern Chad into a conflict of its own. The situation remains critical.

I spent three months covering events in Kenya on a daily basis starting in January 2008. Most of my [...]
The Kenyan Crisis
In 2008, I spent three and a half months in Kenya, covering the ethnic violence that escalated after a contentious election. East Africa’s most stable and burgeoning democracy descended into chaos, exposing large cracks in the system, deep wounds historic inequalities have left untreated. Some called it political genocide, others said it teetered on civil war. Either way, it’s a raw look at the face of street justice, and the brutalities that accompany it, in a society that largely lacks juridical recourse.
