Condition: Critical
Publicizing crises like that of Eastern Congo has evolved with the advent of new media. MSF recorded this short film using direct testimonies and images from the epicenter of the human drama.
The world is a sad sad place, and as a Somali it makes me incredibly sad to see these images, It reminds me of the same things i have witnessed in Somalia....
Trained in the history of philosophy, I'm still recovering. I work in conflict and post conflict countries, which involves setting up emergency aid programs in different sectors, running them, or evaluating them. I work for the usual suspects: UN agencies, int'l donors and governments (USAID, DFID, etc), world bank, INGOs, think tanks and policy shops, etc. I also write a monthly column for 3quarksdaily.com, help run PRISM Partnerships, a micro-philanthropy group based in Nairobi, and serve on the board of Ancestral Knowledge, a DC non-profit fighting 'nature deficit disorder' among urban youth.
