Recently, Ishmael Alfred Charles joined Dr Kent Brantly as a witness at a joint hearing on Ebola in West Africa in Washington, DC.

I was curious about his background as a child soldier morphed into a humanitarian aid worker.Therefore without any doubt I reveled at the opportunity on behalf of EngAyde, to have a phone conversation prior to the hearing.

This question is parodied from a biblical statement in Romans 3:8 that states “And why not do evil that good may come?” Referring to the context some people felt that they should do evil as a prelude to good. That false argument was based on the idea that the Lord needs sin in order to demonstrate that he is God. That is not so.

With international response to the Ebola outbreak gathering pace, the United Nations says the country needs far more than it has lined up. Magdy Martinez-Soliman, the Assistant Secretary General in UNDP in charge of support to UN country offices, says the country needs 3,000 medics to be able to deal with the current outbreak. He sat with Politico for this interview:

Politico: Why are you here?

I love Sierra Leone and it has been my great joy to visit the country many times since 2000 to see its steady progress. For countless years Britain and Sierra Leone have been partners for good, including most recently when British troops ended the civil war where torturous rebels murdered and brutalised innocents.

With Ebola wreaking havoc  in West Africa, assistance from international partners is crucial in dealing with the disease which has killed over 4,000 people in especially Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. One of those who have come in to the rescue is the International Rescue Committee whose Chief Executive Officer, former British Foreign Secretary David Milliband has been visiting the region. He gave his assessment to Politico while in Sierra Leone last week.
