is the focus of a new book exploring different approaches to making sense of conflict. It's actually a follow up to an earlier edition that came out in 2004 called 'hot spot horn of Africa'. I am particularly drawn to it because it is a compilation of academic peace studies and it analyses current violent conflicts on a local, regional, national and international as well as between societies. There is a lot of scope of debate and you can gain an insight into similar conflicts from different angles. I was discussing the book with one of the editors at English to Africa and I think some of the materials can inspire some really good features on radio. I'm on a brainstorming mission!
My amnesia prone/slightly bipolar uncle cracked me up earlier on. (Bless his soul) He has been visited by some 'out of this world' beings who've been cooking in his kitchen, making spicy food to be exact. (he insisted he actually heard them say 'have u added the basbaas and xawaaji?)!
He consulted with one of the 'highly respected sheikhs' of where he comes from who informed him the non-human population in America is actually much larger than human beings. They dwell the roads and invade our houses at night. My uncle goes "Aha, that is why there is so much traffic on the road at night! They must be driving since we humans are all asleep!"
P.S. What are the chances the sheikh himself is suffering from a similar condition as uncle?
