BASATINE, YEMEN- MARCH 2008.Back in the slums of Basatine, Mohamed returns late in the evening after a fruitless day spent walking Aden's streets in search of work. Having arrived in Yemen from Bossaso two months ago, Mohamed is just one of just eleven men to have survived a perilous journey across the Gulf of Aden. He is still traumatized, having witnessed one hundred of the other passengers on board the tiny boat drown as they capsized at sea. Escaping bloodshed in Mogadishu and then nearly being shot dead by smugglers on the beaches of Somalia, Mohamed cannot as yet even contemplate moving on with his life. He is doing his best to eke out a living but after what he has witnessed, he spends most of his time in a restless daze. (KEYSTONE/NOOR/Alixandra Fazzina)
