I didn’t see him saying community based aid couldn’t be neutral. (By the same token: It’s definitely false to assume international actors de facto can be! *cough afghanistan cough somalia etc*) and tbh? Impartiality matters way more imo
And I love that he’s breathing new life into debates over the principles. God, it’s been a stale discussion for so long. And he’s challenging some entrenched assumptions and hopefully making space for a new kind of conversation. Thank goodness for that
