after being away for a while but I have been busy in the real world, especially that of broadcasting. My Somalia series have been finalised and are now posted on the VOA website as well as shared across all the Africa services. It will also be aired on the Africa service's main daily show Africa News Tonight the whole of next week. I am stoked! The links to the stories for those of you who would like to listen to it/read it are below.

I also managed to stumble onto TV to Africa's In Focus where I appeared to discuss Muslims in America with them. I enjoyed that one. It was an issue that has been on my conscious for a while and was hoping a platform would appear where I can contribute to somehow trying to tackle the misperception Americans have of Muslims and the Islam faith. Check out the interview below.

On a personal note I can honestly say I don't know where to draw the line between work and life anymore as I seem to be always doing something work related. Fortunately I get to be off from the 10th of September for two weeks when I'll go back home to unwind and switch off from the world of politics.
