Ask me anything: Kavumu edition
Starts today at 1 p.m. Eastern
Hi everyone!
I’ll be around and on this comment thread (below) for most of the day, starting at 1 p.m. Eastern, to answer any questions you might have about what happened in Kavumu, and the difficulties and ethics of reporting on it.
A lot of you have wondered about the possible “magic” sleeping powder, how I handle the trauma of doing the story and why the men were raping the little girls, among other things. Ask away...
And thanks for joining.
Thank you so much to everyone for talking with me today! I'm off this thread for now, but will answer questions at a later point if you still want to leave them.
Thank you for posting the pictures along with the posts. It is very hard to visualize what the Congo looks like as well as the dwellings and clothes.
How difficult was the culture shock when you left DRC and returned to New York?
