from Speaking Out

Episode 7: The ‘Forced Flight’ reportIn May 1997, MSF published a new study describing the movements of refugees in the Great Lakes region of Africa and the fate of refugees. MSF planned to distribute the report to a small group of journalists, asking them not to cite MSF as the source of the information. However, a lack of communication between MSF offices and with the teams in the field, exacerbates tensions.This podcast series is produced and mixed by Andrea Rangecroft. Editorial direction is from Nancy Barrett, Laurence Binet, Martin Saulnier, and Rebecca Golden Timsar. The narrator is Nick Owen. The extracts are read by Danielle Stagg and Matthew Wade. Music is by Lost Harmonies and Peter Sendberg  Photo credits: © Frederic Sautereau A special thanks to Rachel Kiddell-Monroe. This MSF Speaking Out podcast is based on an original MSF case study called ‘The Hunting and Killing of Rwandan Refugees in Zaire-Congo: 1996-1997’.
