Brought to you by Ruth Mukwana and Stories and Humanitarian Action (SAHA)
Sébastien Trives is a French national currently working for the NGO, ACTED, in Paris. He also works on the Humanitarian Advisory Team for the Famine Relief Fund, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, UNRWA, UNAMA, and OSCE. He holds an M.A. in International Relations, a B.A. in International Affairs and History, and a Diploma in European Studies.
In this enlightening conversation featuring Sébastien Trives, a dedicated humanitarian doing impactful work with ACTED, he says:
“99 Years in Logar describes life through the eyes of a child. It describes family life, the tension between tradition and modernity. The conflict is there, but it’s never central. It provides this background of Afghanistan in a very endearing light. We have this tendency in humanitarian action to see people as beneficiaries of aid, victims, people without agency.”
