The New York Times has published a review of “The Frontlines of Peace”! The review is now in print! The review is super positive! I��m feeling ecstatic, thrilled, honored...🤩 But the headline is *all wrong*! 😂🤦♀️ (So I fixed it for you 😉)

Back in eastern Congo: steep hills, complex peace, powerful conversations. Walking, listening, learning, strategizing. Wi-Fi is slow. Spirits are high. Yes, I overpacked books. Again.

Look what arrived just in time for the challenges 2025 may bring! John Paul Lederach’s "The Pocket Guide for Facing Down a Civil War" is packed with insights from a lifetime of peacebuilding, & it's freely available online at https://t.co/He1KjIUfIw. Let’s build peace together!🕊️

Great opportunity for African researchers! You’ll join a fantastic community of fellows (truly impressive) and benefit from mentorship from the @HFGuggenheim team. From personal experience, I can say they treat their fellows exceptionally well. Good luck! https://t.co/Q2uTi1eJAq

Yet another excellent investigation by @Melaniegouby for @ForeignPolicy. “The Problem With ‘Conflict-Free’ Minerals How traceability schemes have wound up hurting Congo’s people.”
Western advocacy led to policies focused on derisking supply chains and virtue signaling to consumers, rather than improving Congolese miners’ living conditions or addressing the conflict’s root causes, Mélanie Gouby writes.
