Ruthless Humanitarianism

  • and said:

“The obstinate party is not the Sudanese government…”

Though I agree that private contractors are useful, they can only be useful in a political environment that allows their strengths to be used. It was hard to get past the quote above, considering the Govt of Sudan’s past record. It is one task to build a compound for the UN and a very different thing to provide security to a civilian population.
