Good to hear your voice on the podcast. Hope you start writing again about Sudan for Global Voices, the project that started at *Harvard* (inside joke) ;)
Bwahaha. I second that entire sentence.
I enjoy Sudanese Thinker’s blog which as you say is very sarcastic. BUT unfortunately any real criticism is lost in the sarcasm so it is really quite hard to take what he is saying seriously. For a truly challenging blog I think it would have been more interesting to interview Sabbah but then I guess a hard hitting in your face criticism of Israel is kind of hard for most people to stomach- Even more unfortunate.
Dude, haha, I just noticed this in my Google Alerts.
Thanks a lot for posting it. Loved it. :)
