Aminatta Forna on the BBC (video)

Aminatta Forna talks about the characters from her Commonwealth Prize winning novel, Memory of Love. Like many Sierra Leoneans, I echo her sentiments on the lack of respect and naivete of many aid workers. Don’t be surprised if the people you are claiming to help resent you for it or do not want your help. Aid is Dead!
