| Nairobi |
Nairobi is a good place to be an international
correspondent. There are regular flights to the nearest genocide, and there are
green lawns, tennis courts, good fawning service. You can get pork belly, and
you can hire an OK pastry chef called Elijah (surname forgotten) to work
in your kitchen for $300 a month.
If you work for one of the major newspapers, or television
and radio services, chances are you live in Nairobi or Johannesburg. To make
your work easier, you need, in your phone, the numbers of the country directors
of every European aid agency: Oxfam, Save the Children. To find these numbers
is not difficult: chances are these guys are your neighbours, your tennis
partners.
