Francesca Borri (born 1980) is an Italian journalist whose reportage focuses on armed conflicts in Israel and Palestine, Kosovo, and Syria.
She studied in Florence and Pisa and has worked in the Balkans and the Middle East as a human rights officer.
In 2018, Seven Stories published a second translation of Borri's work, Destination Paradise, about the presence of jihadists in the Maldives.
This book, however, generated controversy and received great public backlash from the Maldivian Twitter community for its "inaccurate" and "racist" representation of their country and people.
[2][3] Borri writes regularly for Il Fatto Quotidiano,[4] Internazionale,[5] Egyptian Institute for Studies[6] and Al-Monitor.
