Dr. Paul Farmer was a constant source of encouragement for ECI and will be greatly missed. Our director, Abraham Leno, shared, "He was instrumental in leading the interventions to tackle EBOLA in West Africa and the DRC. His life and work touched so many people around the world"
Bill Clinton@BillClinton

Paul Farmer changed the way health care is delivered in the most impoverished places on Earth. He saw every day as a new opportunity to teach, learn, give, and serve—and it was impossible to spend any time with him and not feel the same. Full statement: wjcf.co/35ecpM2

Incredible reporting and photos in this NYT story about the battle to protect or exploit the massive tropical peatlands in the Congo Basin. Why should we care? Those peatlands store the carbon equivalent of 20 years of U.S. fossil fuel emissions. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Imefika! My book on the recent phase of the Congolese conflict is out from @princetonupress. press.princeton.edu/books/hardcove… It asks why conflict has persisted despite a comprehensive peace deal, billions of $ of investment and the largest peacekeeping mission in the world. (THREAD)

L’histoire ce n’est pas la rumeur racontée au fil du temps par Tata Kulutu ou Tutu Jean. C’est le recoupement des témoignages des acteurs & leurs contemporains. C’est l’expérience que nous avons vécue. C’est ce que les archives nous disent — oui, celles qui sont restées secrètes.
