Douglas Farah
Author and Investigative Journalist for the Washington Post Douglas Farah has been an award-winning member of the investigative staff and a foreign correspondent for the Washington Post and other publications. In March 2000, the Post named Farah West Africa bureau chief. He was stationed in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, until threats on his life forced him and his family to evacuate. Farah wrote extensively about the brutal civil wars in Sierra Leone and Liberia, and about the interlocking networks of agents, under the protection of governments across the region, which profited from those conflicts and the diamonds-for-weapons trade. |
