very informative read, it reads almost like a dystopian YA novel but then you realize this is real and actual humans are experiencing this magnitude of suffering and loss and suddenly you need to reflect on the mechanisms of society and our international relations. also it’s almost 20 years old now so i would love to read more on what’s happened since. worth a read!
