Item description from seller

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - From the elephant trails of the Zambezi Valley to the killing fields of Liberia and the chaos of Somalia, Sinjonjo is the raw, unfiltered memoir of a Mauritian-born adventurer who lived through Africa's most turbulent decades.Born on a remote sugar estate in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), Gilbert C. Bouic grew up running wild among leopards, elephants, and the mysterious Vadoma 'ostrich people.' His childhood of hunting warthogs and camping in what is now Mana Pools gave way to a rebellious youth in 1970s Europe, hitch-hiking, commercial fishing, and eventually settling (briefly) in Sweden.But Africa kept calling him back. For decades he worked as a logistician on the front lines of emergency humanitarian aid across Liberia, Somalia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Mozambique, Ethiopia, and beyond. Kidnapped, shot at, held hostage, and repeatedly robbed, he survived by mastering local languages, cultures, and the brutal realities of war.With dark humour and unflinching honesty, Bouic exposes the staggering waste, corruption, and impossible contradictions of the international aid industry while revealing the extraordinary resilience of the people caught in its midst. He also offers a rare insider's view on why he believes Chinese development approaches may be more realistic for Africa than traditional Western aid.Blending wild adventure, heartbreaking tragedy, and hard-won wisdom, Sinjonjo is a gripping, often outrageous journey through a life spent between jungle and front-line; a story of survival, cultural understanding, and one man's lifelong love-hate relationship with the African continent.…
