Either the reporter or the lecturers sound shallow. Please share full papaers.
Can someone of these athropologists do proper research including among others staying in such communities? Get in touch with Prof. Pauline Peters at John F Kennedy School of Governmentin in US you can partner with her

I don’t think I agree with you. What these people are saying is that we should take a holistic approach when we want to examine the whole blood sucker issue.

I know an Anthropologist Prof. Chakanza who has written more books about this. Stop criticizing and start taking an initiative. At least they thought about doing something about it.
