So to begin '@AdWaal do you think Humanitarian Space can be Empty?
#Inepd |
6:19 PM |
17-Sep-09 |
|
|
AdWaal |
@InepdMercedes Well I certainly believe that Humanitarian Space can be
created from Emptiness. #Inepd |
6:20 PM |
17-Sep-09 |
|
|
|
AdWaal |
@InepdMercedes In Darfur we have created already a lot of humanitarian
space by using the phrase Peace Process. #Inepd |
6:21 PM |
17-Sep-09 |
|
|
|
AdWaal |
@InepdMercedes It was a pity the ICC put in danger the Peace Process.
But I’m glad to say things are back on track in Darfur. #Inepd |
6:22 PM |
17-Sep-09 |
|
|
|
InepdKelvin |
@InepdMercedes Certainly I agree with Alex, I would say an empty
humanitarian space is better than no humanitarian space at all. #Inepd |
6:23 PM |
17-Sep-09 |
|
|
|
InepdMercedes |
And '@InepdKelvin
what do you think? #Inepd |
6:23 PM |
17-Sep-09 |
|
|
|
InepdShane |
@InepdMercedes You know sometimes, even the emptiest humanitarian
space can found be in a humanitarian enclave. #Inepd |

@InepdShane I got so an with them http://bit.ly/1nVxlP There cure and
mortaility rates are so unrealistic. #Inepd |
6:31 PM |
17-Sep-09 |
|
|
|
InepdShane |
@InepdShirley Yes I remember, we never came close to meeting their
mortality rates, even after adding strawberry and Banana flavouring to
the therapeutic milk. #Inepd |

#Inepd What do you mean by Humanitarian Space..like definition?>
Thanks for the question. I will give this to Alex |

AdWaal |
@StephenSidlo
Humanitarian space would best be described as a place where
humanitarian can feel a little relaxed, not to pressured. #Inepd |
|
|
|

woodseerCSR |
@InepdMercedes Humanitarian space = the ability to evaluate needs, +
to deliver aid freely + to access the aid reach the target group |
6:30 PM |

|
|
InepdMercedes |
@woodseerCSR Thanks for your definition but Alex de Waal '@AdWaal is
an expert in the field and we are going to have to take his
definition. |

@InepdMercedes lol That's an hilarious comment. That's going to be a
hit in the office tomorrow. Say Hi to Alex anyway. |
6:37 PM |
17-Sep-09 |
|
|
|
TathraExpress |
@InepdMercedes I wanted to ask
'@AdWaal if he thinks there is progress on peace after 5 years of
conflict in Darfur. #Inepd |
6:36 PM |
17-Sep-09 |
|
|
|
InepdMercedes |
@tathraexpress this is a serious topic to discuss and not for the
press, sorry. #Inepd |
6:37 PM |
17-Sep-09 |

|
|
TathraExpress |
@InepdMercedes But you said anyone at the beginning the discussion is
open. #Inepd |
6:38 PM |

|
|
|
InepdMercedes |
Ok, one question
only '@tathraexpress #Inepd |
6:38 PM |
17-Sep-09 |
|
|
|
AdWaal |
@InepdMercedes '@tathraexpress Certainly there has been progress,
before the conflict there wasn’t even a Peace Process. #Inepd |
6:40 PM |
17-Sep-09 |
|
|
|
AdWaal |
@InepdMercedes '@tathraexpress The organisational structures,
processes and adm. have developed tremondously in the last 5 years.
#Inepd |
6:41 PM |
17-Sep-09 |
|
|
|
TathraExpress |
@AdWaal
@InepdMercedes But hasn’t the humanitarian situation continued to
deteriorate. #Inepd |
|
|
|
|
|
InepdMercedes |
@TathraExpress I said only one question. #Inepd |
6:42 PM |
17-Sep-09 |
|
|
|
TathraExpress |
@InepdMercedes It was a follow on question. #Inepd |
6:42 PM |
17-Sep-09 |
|
|
|
InepdMercedes |
@TathraExpress Sorry '@tathraexpress but no follow on questions. There
are hundreds of people wanting to post questions. #Inepd |
6:43 PM |
17-Sep-09 |

@InepdMercedes We just waited 2 minutes no one has still asked a
question. #Inepd |

InepdMercedes |
@TathraExpress Sorry but InepdKelvin is about to respond #Inepd |
|
|
|
|
|
InepdKelvin |
@InepdMercedes Well I would like to follow up on what Alex said. |
6:45 PM |
17-Sep-09 |
|
|
|
InepdKelvin |
@InepdMercedes Darfur is of course a concern and
no one could argue that more humanitarian space is not needed.
#Inepd |
6:46 PM |
17-Sep-09 |
|
|
|
InepdShane |
@InepdKelvin '@InepdMercedes I would say the problem is not the
emptiness of the humanitarian space but the lack of humanitarian space
#Inepd |
6:46 PM |
17-Sep-09 |
|
|
|
InepdShirley |
@InepdMercedes '@InepdShane is right. In Darfur we just didn’t have
enough to go around. It was so thin almost empty. #Inepd |
6:47 PM |
17-Sep-09 |
|
|
|
InepdShane |
@InepdShirley Many times in the Land-Cruiser on the Darfurian desert
roads. The Humanitarian space felt so empty. Like a void. #Inepd |
6:48 PM |
17-Sep-09 |
|
|
|
InepdShirley |
@InepdShane It was so eerie wasn't it. Like we were the only two
people in the world. #Inepd |
6:49 PM |
17-Sep-09 |
|
|
|
InepdShane |
@InepdShirley I don't think I have ever felt anything more empty in my
life. #Inepd |
6:50 PM |
17-Sep-09 |
|
|
|
InepdShane |
@InepdShirley Except for the small patch of eternal love burning
brightly in the Land-Cruiser in the Darfurian desert. #Inepd |
6:51 PM |
17-Sep-09 |
|
|
|
InepdShirley |
@InepdShane I love you Shane, You are right. Maybe love can overcome
empty humanitarian space. #Inepd |
6:51 PM |
17-Sep-09 |
|
|
|
InepdShane |
@InepdShirley Maybe it is more than just love '@InepdShirley maybe we
also have a joint humanitarian impulse pulsing in us. #Inepd |
6:52 PM |
17-Sep-09 |
|
|
|
InepdMercedes |
Right I think the
discussion has drifted off again. Unfortunately that’s all we have
time for. #Inepd |
