Journalism lost a special person the day Christopher Allen was murdered in South Sudan. Allen, who held British and American nationality, was 26 when he died in South Sudan’s civil war. South Sudan has refused all calls to hold an investigation. One of its barristers, Caoilfhionn Gallagher, points out that there is probable cause to suspect Allen suffered from a double war crime. After a lengthy stay in the Ukraine, he went to Turkey, where he was embedded with Kurdish militia, before he made his way to Africa and South Sudan.
