Huffington Post: Project to Track Money Fueling Africa’s Wars
WASHINGTON — Actor George Clooney has teamed up with the Enough Project, a global nonprofit group focused on ending genocide and human rights abuses, to launch a new initiative aimed at tracking and countering the money that fuels Africa’s deadliest conflicts.
The investigative project, dubbed The Sentry, will use the same tools that many international watchdog groups rely on, like open-source data and field reporting, to track the financing and profits gleaned from activities like trafficking, government corruption and smuggling, which often go hand in hand with politically destabilizing violence.
The announcement of the project comes as President Barack Obama prepares to travel to Ethiopia and Kenya later this week.
