I feel sick to my stomach. This photo was taken last Monday with Albeiro Camayo of the Indigenous Guard in Cauca. I just received news from my colleague @nadege_mazars - who I was traveling with - that he was killed by FARC dissidents today.

Rafa, a friend to many journalists who have passed through Venezuela, has been in intensive care with COVID, and the bills are stacking up. We count on him, so it's our turn to help - any amount, or even sharing this link would be much appreciated gofundme.com/f/ayuda-a-rafae…
