På frontlinjen i kampen om Mosul Irakisk politi løpet for livet når de forsøker å sikre området utenfor jernbanestasjonen Garage Baghdad. Den norsk-brasilianske fotografen André Liohn fulgte de paramilitære politistyrkene i kampene for å jage IS ut av Mosul.
One pair of questions often asked about the war in Libya have been these: Just who are the rebels who have taken up arms against Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi’s government, and how do they fight?
André Liohn's harrowing and dramatic series of images taken in the besieged Libyan city of Misrata are truly in the spirit of Robert Capa's combat photography. These searing images are a first rate example of close quarters combat photography obtained at great personal risk. Rarely do we see photos taken so deep in the fog of war, serving, as they do, to shine a bright light on the horrors and consequences of combat.
After years of conflict in Somalia, safe access to health care remains a serious problem, medical infrastructure is insufficient and many medical professionals have left the country.
