Behind the scenes for the unseen part of most missions. Final day in Somalia – listening hard, meeting UN and NGO partners, ambassadors, and speaking to media. Thank you to our teams for extraordinary work in face of extraordinary challenges.
If you are ever on a crashing airplane, know that you will not be permitted any silence or dignity to contemplate your impending fate and reflect on your mortality. Instead, you'll be subject to the pointless unproductive screaming of the hysterical foids all around you.
