The 13th publication of René Naba:
Humanitarianism is capable of the worst and the best.
While it has served to alert international opinion to scandalous situations of abuse of power and abominable cases of ill-treatment, it has served as a guarantee for imperial equipment.
Humanitarianism has always been a dictated action from the North to the South. Originally a generous idea, the humanitarian intervention evolved, in the face of facts, into an ambiguous notion covering the activities of firefighters.
This book proposes to narrate the story of Humanitarianism’s excesses. The story of an instrumentalization of charitable organizations that destabilizing the recalcitrant countries to the Western hegemonic order.
At the end of fifty years of its existence, the humanitarian intervention can be summed up in this equation: A lot of interference and a little of humanitarianism, in which the latter inversely proportional to its interference.
This book is an antidote to intoxication that has polluted French opinion in favor of the so-called “Arab Spring”, including the Syrian war.
