Humanitarianism In A Post 9/11 World

Imagine sitting down to talk with eight mullahs in a village in central Afghanistan, meeting with people in the war-torn Gulu district in Uganda, or attending a town meeting of displaced persons in Colombia. How do people such as these, on the receiving end of international assistance, perceive humanitarian action in their respective countries? Is it fulfilling its intended purposes?

To identify the challenges that will affect humanitarian action over the next decade, researchers from the Feinstein International Center (FIC) at Tufts University traveled to Afghanistan, Colombia, Sudan, Burundi, Liberia, and northern Uganda.

The FIC published a report about their findings, entitled The Humanitarian Agenda 2015: Principles, Power, and Perceptions. Read more about the report by the FIC.

  1. Of coarse if the middle class continues to die then all that is left is the greedy rich. Because we will continue to pay for a immoral war. The money grabbers won’t pay for it. Not only will our men in uniform stake their lives for the sake of Big Business, but they will come back and pour their hard earned taxes into paying for that war that they fought.
