My meeting with Abu Walid al Masri

Hi all, well it’s been a while  between blog posts & generally keeping in contact with folks. My apologies for that but I’ve been a little busy settling into post thesis life.

I did however finally get organized and here’s my first post thesis article in which I recount some of the discussions Mustafa Hamid (Abu Walid al Masri) and I had when we met recently. You can find the article here

We’ve had some truly fascinating talks and debates. There will be more on this and other projects later as well as some long delayed book reviews. 

Over the coming while I will also be starting a new non CT, more IR focussed blog as part of a long overdue return to a broader focus.

    That’s quite the surprise, Leah!

    I knew you were in Egypt, and I knew that Abu Walid very much wished he could come home, and was campaigning via the net — but I had not the faintest idea that he’d been released, let along that the two of you had met!

    Very much looking forward to hearing more…
