Her deft tales of daily life in Africa-among postmen, refugees, tax collectors & goat sellers-made Alex Duval Smith one of the wisest & most humane reporters I've known. Decency & gentleness were her gifts. Journey well, my friend. RIP @AlexDuvalsmith https://t.co/8C5swm9Azc

BBC’s Alex Duval Smith, a gentle giant in journalism passed away. She gave the attention to people and events in areas most ignored and had a great sense of humour. This is us in CAR. May you Rest In Peace. Que la terre lui soit légère.
So very sad to hear this news . Alex was a force of nature, so committed to journalism, so much in love with so much in West Africa. So many of her stories stay with me as well as her many kindnesses. Au revoir mon amie 💝 #AlexDuvalSmith@BBCAfrica@bbcafrique
