Aiding & Abetting

Thomas Colley

Aiding & Abetting is a podcast from Karama exploring the uncomfortable realities, contradictions, and power dynamics behind modern humanitarian aid.

Aiding & Abetting is produced by Karama, a humanitarian network advancing dignity and locally led mutual aid responses across conflict-affected regions. This podcast is for anyone who wants an honest insider’s view of how humanitarian aid actually works, and what meaningful change could look like.

Hosted by humanitarian worker Tom Colley, the series goes beyond the familiar narratives of charity and “saving lives” to ask deeper questions about who really holds power in the aid system, and whether the current model is fit for purpose.

Through conversations with aid workers, activists, researchers, and people directly affected by crisis, Aiding & Abetting examines the colonial legacies, political interests, and institutional incentives that shape humanitarian response today. The series also explores alternatives rooted in solidarity, mutual aid, and locally led action.
