Going Humanitarian

Publicado por mm3 el 13 marzo 2014 en English.

Right along the bush in Bangassou, added 30-odd small buildings in the southeast part of this troubled city in the Central African Republic…kind of connects the dots from that world to this a continent away. Check the changeset for the details.

Humanitarian and OSM seem to fit together like PB&J, so I’m glad and grateful to be contributing in some small digitizing way… I often think of mapping as a political act, especially when it involves indigenous people, whether in Africa or the American southwest.

I was struck by how small the building footprints are in Bangassou, and out in the wildlife boundary how vulnerable a native population would be in the face of war and ethnic strife.
