Stop Genocide Now
“We’re looking for a teacher named Adam,” I asked the first man we saw, when we arrived at a refugee camp with a funny name, Kounoungou, back in 2008. “Adam” is a very common name with Darfuris, and in a camp with more than 20,000 people, there was probably hundreds, maybe even thousands of Adams, […]
The team says goodbye to Camp Djabal and travels on.
The team searched for a suitable donkey for the Human Rights Mobile Library. Donkeys are the main means of transportation for the refugees and their strength and stamina can be remarkable. It really makes you appreciate these beasts of burden. Our friend Rahma decides to test the librarian’s seat.

Today I parted ways with the rest of the i-ACT team. They went on to Camp Kounoungo via Guereda, and I continued my journey home via N’Djamena. I am a little sad that the team has parted ways, and lot sad that my time with Rahma, Ali, Abdulhaziz, Suliman, Adef, Achta, little serious-man Abdelmouni, Guisma, […]
