Title The Sierra Leone mudslide disaster isn’t over yet – here’s what the world must do Media name/outlet The Conversation Media type Web Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 22/08/17 Description Another day, another disaster. The vulnerability of Sierra Leone makes any reference to “natural” disasters at best ironic, and at worst insulting. Poverty is not “natural”, and the overcrowding into poor housing that it causes is not “natural”. Even the extreme climatic and environmental conditions that precipitated the recent devastating mudslide on the outskirts of the capital, Freetown, are a function of man’s unnatural relationship with nature. But what to do about it? URL https://theconversation.com/the-sierra-leone-mudslide-disaster-isnt-over-yet-heres-what-the-world-must-do-82805 Persons Tony Redmond
