A collection of interesting articles and blogs. News. Conservation. Humanitarian Relief. Overlanding.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here you’ll find a list of mostly longform articles and pieces about Africa on widely varying topics. I find myself most interested in conservation and relief\/aid\/development articles, but there is also so much more. These are not in any particular order, perhaps someday I’ll sort them by category. I hope you find something interesting. People send me new articles all the time, if you have a suggested article please send it my way. Also check out my recommended podcasts<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chaos Company<\/a>. Security is complicated, and messy. Great article about de-mining and third party contractors, who and how this actually gets done. “Wherever governments can\u2019t\u2014or won\u2019t\u2014maintain order, from oil fields in Africa to airports in Britain and nuclear facilities in America, the London-based \u201cglobal security\u201d behemoth G4S has been filling the void. It is the world\u2019s third-largest private-sector employer and commands a force three times the size of the British military. On-site in South Sudan with G4S ordnance-disposal teams, William Langewiesche learns just how dirty the job can get, and how perilous the company\u2019s control.<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n
