The harsh realities of life
News | 10 Feb 2015
I am in Malawi on a short field trip to interview some of the main actors involved in pro-women policy processes in the country.

Kindergardens and shootouts
News | 6 Jul 2015
So far, kindergartens and shootouts have by and large been completely unrelated issues in my world. Not anymore.

In the following days, grizzling reports emerged of a massacre of perhaps hundreds of sect members. We do not yet know the truth. Angola's government appears to do its utmost to prevent knowledge of it to transpire. Will the international community remain passive?
