Alex Christoforou is a Cypriot-born citizen journalist, geopolitical analyst, anti-imperialist, and co-founder of The Duran with Alex Mercouris. As his father was a diplomat. Alex grew up mostly in the US, Mexico, and what was then the Soviet Union. His walkabout videos have become a sensation on the alternative video blogosphere. As reported in a Cyprus newspaper, "He’s recognisable, of course, with his beard and big, stocky frame – and besides, how many other people are you going to see walking around talking to themselves for half an hour, filming the whole thing on their phones? He doesn’t have a selfie stick (remarkably, given how steady the picture is), let alone a cameraman; it’s just him, walking and talking and trying to avoid getting hit by a car, or bumping his head on a tree."
