Remembering Mohamed Amin

Posted on the November 30th, 2005 under Uncategorized by Tohir

23 November 1996. This is the day we received the sad news that Mo Amin was killed in an airplane crash off the coast.

Do not know who Mohamed Amin is?

Mohamed Amin was a Kenyan photo-journalists whose 1984 images led to the global “We are the World Campaign”, inspired Band Aid and Live Aid to save Ethiopians from famine and starvation. Later on, he lost an arm also in Ethiopia.

Live Aid has been resurrected lately. How wonder how things would have been with Mo around – especially in the fight against HIV/AIDS
