Just as the sun crept above the horizon over the Indian Ocean, these clouds rolled in over the valley we were staying in. These skies lasted only about ten minutes as the clouds rolled out over the sea and dissipated. I feel incredibly lucky to have experienced in this moment.

We are all about challenge, about being different and exploring the boundaries of what’s possible. Our Adventure Racing series takes these ideals to the next level and features some of the toughest ultra marathons and adventure races in the world.

Somali Bantu, Khadija Issa, wipes away tears of frustration and despair as she recounts how her family of 10 was plunged into destitution when xenophobic mobs destroyed her husband’s profitable business in Johannesburg in 2008. Her family is so desperate they say they’re even willing to go back to Somalia.

Zalmaï photographs refugees in cities for UNHCR

GENEVA, 4 March - The iconic image of refugees is row upon row of white tents in a sprawling emergency camp; the reality is that only a third of the world’s 10.5 million refugees now live in camps.

More than half the refugees UNHCR serves now live in cities, with others outside camps in rural areas. In the future, more and more refugees will be trying to survive in cities, as will former refugees who return to their place of origin and those displaced inside their countries.

To illustrate the resilience of refugees in cities, their hopes and dreams as they struggle to simply survive, make a living and care for their families, UNHCR sent award-winning photographer Zalmaï to cities on several continents.

Zalmaï is a former Afghan refugee. At 15, he spent three months in his grandmother’s basement hiding from the Soviet army and Afghan authorities before fleeing to Switzerland, where he was educated and still lives. Zalmaï has travelled the world exploring the theme of exile and uprooted people in many countries.

For the project Invisible in the City, Zalmaï documented the struggles and hopes of refugees and people displaced within their own countries in South Africa, Malaysia and Colombia, in what turned out to be one of his most challenging projects.

“These people are living inside the cities, but they don’t exist,” Zalmaï says. “They are hard to find. They are afraid of deportation, of the police, of detention centres. They feel they are vulnerable. Sometimes, their only protection is the big city itself. So, they just try to be invisible.”

The photo collection can now be seen on the Time Magazine website: www.time.com/time/photogallery/0,29307,1969434,00.html
