Hichem Khadhraoui: Executive Director, Centre for Civilians in Conflict (CIVIC)
In this conversation, Dave has a conversation with Hichem Khadhraoui, the Executive Director of the Centre for Civilians in Conflict (CIVIC)
In this 40-minute conversation, hear Hichem explore:
Why he’s drawn to humanitarian work in some of the most dangerous environments - from Yemen to Somalia, Afghanistan to Iraq.
The ethical dilemmas he’s faced working with operatives from armed groups, including Al-Qaeda, when they “basically had blood on their hands, and some of them had made the news for killing scores of civilians.”
The importance of lived experience building the foundations of leadership credentials in this field - rather than books, webinars and conferences (yet why Hichem has two masters degrees in international humanitarian law and human rights…)
How to negotiate effectively with the most dangerous people by finding out what they really want.
How much value he places on emotion and empathy when working in difficult circumstances.
