In 1984, Mo Amin received the Royal Television Society Journalism Award for his coverage of the Ethiopian famine. He had travelled to Korem in northern Ethiopia with BBC journalist Michael Buerk to cover what he later would describe as the closest thing to hell on earth. Mohamed Amin, photographer and frontline cameraman extraordinaire, captured the pain and passion of Africa like no other. ‘Mo’ trained his unwavering lens on every aspect of African life, never shying from its tragedy, always rejoicing and celebrating its successes. He received dozens of awards and recognition for his work on Tom Mboya, Idi Amin and the Ethiopian famine.
