Chad Africa in the news
I came across this article while checking the Washington Post RSS feed. What immediately jumped out at me was the location - N’Djamena, Chad - a place I’ve been to just a couple of years ago. It’s been good to see more and more of the stories of the dire situations in many African countries finally being reported here in the West. I don’t mean just the simple message of poverty and starvation, but the more foundational issues that cause much of this poverty - the propensity of corruption that keeps the vicious cycle in place.
This story of a film-makers close encounter with real-life violence in the midst of a fictional movie-making experience goes to show the conditions many live in. What’s disheartening about the conditions is that oftentimes the best people in these countries end up leaving if and whenever possible for Europe or America, making it that much harder to tap these countries greatest resources - the people.
