What the spread of the “great replacement” conspiracy theory means for humanitarian aid

As racialised narratives increasingly determine how and where NGOs can operate, humanitarians must embrace a more politically informed approach to their work.

Just back from Cox's Bazar. It's been 5 years since my last visit. Many things changed and many remain the same. Wonderful to see old @who.int friends and colleagues and amazing work our @msf.ca collègues are doing. Hope we can do more on surveillance and seeing the impact of long term detention.

Changes? Some for the better, and many for the worse, especially when the sun goes down. With over a million people that have no legal nationality and direct funding cuts, the situation remains vulnerable. Fortunately many kids with smiles, our jobs to keep that smile strong over their lifetime.
