Freelance Journalist

This is the first of my series of coverage about a long investigation i’ve been working on about animal smuggling from the horn of Africa to Yemen; this is just a taster of things to come.

When I first filed my audio for RTE with this story, Sinaed who edits the World Report program came back to me to query how a small boy could be cradling a wild gazelle. I told her I had seen it with my own two eyes; the above image is a picture of the smuggler’s son I talk about in my piece. Its one of my favourite images i’ve taken so far in Yemen.

Sana’a stories is a new podcast about Yemen which takes a look at some of the less covered sides of the life of the nation’s capital.

This week I struggle to make my way round the old city near my home, after the normally peaceful children of the neighborhood receive their Eid money. Sana’a stories will be available on itunes soon.
