THE voluntary medical relief organisation Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF, or Doctors Without Borders) serves as a humanitarian NGO while unwittingly acting as a political and security barometer. 

Not only does MSF habitually plunge itself into the world’s stickiest conflict situations, it is sometimes accused of taking too many risks by going where even fools fear to tread. Seldom does the Nobel Peace Prize-winning group withdraw staff from conflict zones.
