Somalia: Somali Bantu refugees in Boston
02.03.2006
The Somali Bantu are often called "Africa's Lost Tribe." During Somalia's civil war in 1991, the Bantu had no allegiance to other Somali clans and thus no means of protection. They suffered looting, rape and murder at the hands of warring factions and fled on foot to refugee camps in Kenya. Photographer Roberto "Bear" Guerra recently spent several months documenting the lives of Somali Bantu refugees in Boston.
