Since 2010, I have been reporting on the Greek financial crisis including the alarming increase of drug use and the rise of HIV in Greece, police brutality, privatization of public assets, the lamentable conditions of migrant workers in Greece, the rise of poverty and the collapse of the Greek middle class.
However my work is not limited to the Greek crisis. I have extensively reported on the humanitarian and political situation in DPRK (North Korea), on the peace process in Northern Uganda after the end of the LRA insurgency, on the Boko Haram insurgency in Nigeria and the on going humanitarian crisis as well as in development and humanitarian issues out of South East Asia.
I have been reporting (features) for Al Jazeera, Spiegel, Huffington Post UK, DEVEX, IRIN Asia, IRIN West Africa
My main publications can be found below. Links of my work for the humanitarian news agency IRIN can be found on the section Humanitarian Journalism (in this site).
