Ep 6: Humanitarianism uncovered: How Every Refugee Camp is a story of broken Promises!!

Displacement is too often called a crisis. But what if it’s actually a system — one built to manage people, not empower them? In this episode of Builders of the Broken Bazaar, Dr. Tabish Zaman speaks with Dr. Philip Proudfoot, political anthropologist and author of Rebel Populism, about how exile has become permanent, how aid budgets follow politics more than need, and why dignity in displacement is fought for in everyday acts of resistance. From Lebanon’s construction sites to Gaza’s blockade, Proudfoot shows how survival itself becomes deeply political — and why accountability in humanitarianism must mean more than feedback forms.

🎙 “Displacement is not about movement — it’s about rights.”
