So pleased to share this news. A massive thank you to all our 🇹🇿 and 🇬🇧friends in Tanzania for handling the many months of strict travel restrictions with good grace. The pandemic is far from over, but the light shining at the end of the tunnel just got a bit nearer and brighter

The moon rising over #Mogadishu this evening - keeping to its course, respecting the laws (of gravity), attacking no-one & shining a light for all Somalis. To Somali MPs preparing to vote tomorrow for a new Speaker I say: strive to be like the moon Photos by Marvine Gichuru

Two terrorist blasts in the city this morning. Early reports of casualties include Somali journalist Awil Dahir Salad and his team. A stark reminder of the dangers Somali journalists face as they bravely go about their business of gathering news & keeping the rest of us informed
