BOSASSO, SOMALIA- DECEMBER 2007.Having spent the last five days at sea and nearly three weeks travelling on the roads, Usmaan and Mahmud recover along with fellow survivors in the confines of a smuggler Omar's safe house in Bossaso town. Approaching a beach on Yemen's eastern coast in the dead of night, the tiny fishing boat in which they were in came under attack as Yemeni soldiers fired randomly into the dark sea. There were just eight survivors. Despite the captain being shot, the two remaining crew managed to turn the boat around and navigate their way back across the seas. Sailing with the captain's body and the five Tahrib who had remained on board, it took them three more days to make it back to Bossaso without drinking water or food.Usmaan and Mahmud are now ready to try again. They hope to spend a few days resting and has asked Omar to help them cross for a second time. There is no going back (KEYSTONE/NOOR/Alixandra Fazzina)
