We spent all weekend shooting and editing IMF / World Bank stuff. Emily has now been working for three weeks straight and me for two weeks. The press briefings were just as boring and un-news worthy as ever. But of course we did two stories a day for the SABC.
I also covered a Save Darfur rally at the National Mall. They had mock refugee tents set up to show people what it was like for the people of Darfur. I visited some refugee camps in Sudan and the tents set up here were WAY nicer than anything I saw. They were fully stocked with pillows, blankets, cooking pots and medicine. I saw none of that stuff at the camps I visited. Just flimsy, roofless straw huts with maybe a wire bed or two inside. There was no sign of help from the relief agencies.
