Aryn Baker is TIME Magazine’s Africa Bureau Chief and international correspondent. Since joining TIME in Hong Kong in 2001, she has worked as a reporter, editor and correspondent, covering everything from the first Tibetan beauty pageant to Iran’s Paralympics volleyball team, Afghanistan’s collapse, the Arab Spring, the Syrian war, and the 2014 outbreak of Ebola in West Africa. She served as Afghanistan-Pakistan Bureau Chief from 2006 to 2010, then as Middle East Bureau Chief from 2010 to 2014. She now covers African affairs and refugee issues from her base in Cape Town, South Africa.
Since September 2016, the TIME team has spent months documenting the overcrowded refugee camps in Thessaloniki, Greece, and is following the first year in the lives of several refugee babies and their mothers as they seek a new—and more permanent—home in Europe.
