Missing gap year traveller


A 20-year old south Londoner, Aydan Savaskan, has gone missing, having last emailed home from Benin on 3 February. He worked on a voluntary project in Kenya for several months, and then, from the places he's been, It looks like he may have flown from Nairobi via Addis on Ethiopian Airlines to West Africa, as he also visited Togo before the last time he emailed, and Lomé is on Ethiopian's network. Benin is not such a big country, or so packed with young British travellers, that he could just disappear. Most travellers would stand out, and local people do remember travellers well. He may have fallen ill, somebody must know where he is.

Strange there's been so little interest. . . Do Brits of Turkish origin count for less?

Stories are here, in the Wimbledon Guardian, in the Standard, the Daily Mail and the Telegraph.
