Bio:
In her final post on Twitter, French photojournalist Camille Lepage said she was traveling with a Christian militia in the Central African Republic to document recent attacks by Muslim rebels. Her body was found a week later. Members of the militia said Lepage was killed in an ambush. She was 26. In 2012, just out of journalism school, Lepage moved to South Sudan, where she lived in a house with no electricity and recorded the horrors of war. She said she wanted to live in a place "where no one else wants to go" and cover in-depth stories about conflict. Sectarian violence between Christians and Muslims in the Central African Republic has left thousands dead and nearly a million displaced. |
