During his time as European Pressphoto Agency’s (EPA) chief photographer for East Africa, Dai Kurokawa had plenty of close encounters and near misses. He was the World Press Photo 2020 winner and has covered breaking news around the world.
In Developing News, VICE World News interviews photographers whose photos have become synonymous with important world events. The photographers relive the story behind the photos, telling their tales from the front line of battlefields and hospitals, and reflecting on their journey to becoming a photographer.

It's such a misdirection to blame Belgium and the CIA for destabilizing the DRC, esp when neither has been involved in the Congo since the 1960s. If we're trying to be accurate, the 1998-2003 Second Congo War (engineered and fought by African leaders) is 100% the reason the DRC is how it is today. It doesn't help to blame bad actors from 60-100 years ago, and it lets "woke" Americans condemn and do nothing.

The connection is more complex than most people would make it out to seem. Developed African nations like Botswana are just as religious as destabilized regions like the Congo. Ethiopia was the only African nation to successfully fight off colonization, this in large part was due to their union through Christian monarchy, while other regions were divided and conquered by Europe because they could not unite under a similar worldview, Ethiopia despite its own hardships banded together under their Orthodox worldview.
