I reviewed @CreoleBauer‘s „The New Breadline“ & really liked it!
It’s a „highly readable & important book about topics that really should not exist anymore: Hunger, malnutrition & the weaponization of food as some of the worst impacts of contemporary wars“
I really enjoyed reading @MustafaMarwan's humanitarian novel "Guns & Almond Milk"!
"The novel retells the old story of humanitarianism with contemporary astuteness of how damaged & damaging the humanitarian project has become in the rubble of a hospital in Yemen"
In my new post "How the conservative playbook to undermine aid & reduce civil society space is working out in Sweden" I am summarizing recent cuts in the #globaldev sector & how they could undermine Sweden's aid efforts at home + abroad
