Left to Die: Escape from the Amarula

59

When Islamist insurgents attacked a town in Mozambique in March, civilians and foreign contractors raced to a local hotel for safety. Over three agonising days, they waited for a rescue. But no one came.

In this extraordinary story of extremism, corruption and bravery, journalist Basia Cummings investigates what happened at the Amarula Hotel, and speaks to the people who were trapped inside – and made it out alive.

    Basia with another
    I really enjoy the choice and style of reporting by Basia and Tortoise. Otherwise obscure stories brought into the light.

    Questionable and racist coverage
    There’s something very strange about a white reporter making numerous podcasts about white people in harms way in different conflicts in Africa…yet not covering the conflicts or ongoing harm to the actual communities ravaged by this violence. Centering white people stories IN AFRICA is off putting.
