His journey, however, was haunted by the 1993 murder of a Somali teenager by Canadian soldiers in what became know as \"The Somalia Affair\".<\/p>\n<p>He questions whether the international Criminal Court in The\u00a0Hague can <span>change things on the ground in Africa and if international aid and intervention can improve the lives of ordinary Afri\u00adcans, or whether it contributes to their suffering.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Geddes travels to R<span>wanda and Uganda, where he attends grassroots criminal courts and encounters rescued street kids, women raped and infected with HIV during the genocide and victims mutilated by the Lord\u2019s Resistance Army. In the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia and Somaliland, with the help of fixers, guides and the occasional armed guard, Geddes finds himself in the instructive \u2013 and at times redeeming \u2013 presence of child soldiers, refugees and poets turned freedom fighters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The stories Geddes brings back are hailed as uplifting, terrifying, stark and sometimes almost unbearable, but he presents them all with the essential lightness that Jean-Paul Sartre insisted is so crucial to good writing.
