Notes

1 In November 2009, working independently of the aid industry, I spent a month in Khartoum, travelling by foot or using local taxis both day and night. In January 2014, my wife and I enjoyed a two-week holiday there visiting old haunts and friends – again, moving around without let or hindrance. Indeed, we spent a memorable evening in Omdurman at the Muwalid celebration of the Prophet’s birthday. The relative safety of the city has also been commented upon in Alex de Waal’s blog ‘Making Sense of Darfur’. See www.ssrc.org/blogs/darfur/category/darfur.

2 This was in connection with research on risk management among aid agencies (Collinson & Duffield 2013).

3 I am grateful for audience feedback and the anecdotal evidence provided regarding the geographic spread of the fortified aid compound from seminars given in Rovaniemi, London, Warwick, Cambridge, Amsterdam, Leeds, Bristol, Bradford and Coimbra during 2008 and 2009.

5 These programmes were known as ‘negotiated access’. They involved a UN lead agency negotiating on behalf of the aid system with the main warring parties to gain humanitarian access to war-affected populations. OLS is a good example.
