I'm trying to get the pronunciation of his first name. I was hoping I would hear it here. Honestly, I never heard of him but I want to read his work because he apparently writes about women in a human way which is rare .

Very Inspirational and honest discussion- A comment about the problems of African Political Corruption- and his correct issue of lack of trust was well said. True Pan African community comment that sits well including comments on Women’s Democracy in the western world and Africa- Interesting comments relevant still today. Well traveled spokesmen
Yes, Dr. Woldemariam was right on the mark!! If Peace was suppose to come, either TPLF or EPLF has to become insignificant political players in their respective countries. Guess what? Now that TPLF is no more, Peace is here. Congrats to the Ethiopian primer Dr. Abiy Ahmed on his 2019 Nobel Peace Prize!
@@landescap2262 Nope it wasn't. The border was part of the problem but there were more complicated economic disagreements. Your conclusion is not accurate. You try to simplify the issue while the issue is too complex.
I'm all ablaze with envy! (For all your up close and personal encounters with CA). RIP to both of you, CA and BW. :( It won't be business as usual, for the African literary terrain!
you're trying to paint a picture that totally doesn't exist man. The fact of the matter is clear - gross human rights violations still continue because of the indefinite s lo called national service, crack down on anyone with reformist agenda and the you've a constitution literally intentionally unimplemented. There couldn't possibly optimism in the future with all these facts !
Why don't we allow this panel to lead south Sudan.. They are well informed on the issues of south Sudan. They are serious , well informed and determined and etc.They seem to have to a grip on history on violence in this new nation with lots of challenges. They are young and forward looking. They have all the energy to handle all the task at hand. They seem ready to accommodate other ideas
Kiir was aggravated to sell the country indirectly; the Uganda is one of motivation in South Sudan land. kiir know it by 2015 election will not construct the election, because of his weakness in leadership to contest for upcoming in 2015. Now, it's up to us to say no, for any leaders who cannot embrace the public attention. there is no wrong to be weak leaders but the posse is too BIG for you to handle. the current president is someone who can seen the reality of nation building. If we wants peace, that current president must be to go, because that man doesn't see the public principles
i"m just want to tell for all the Suth Sudan people to be together to peace that is not good because you are one family and for me is every hart to herd is and to see this problem in Suth Sudan
Southsudanese youth, and peace soldiers and for anyone concerned about ongoing crisises in the World´s youngest Nation. must wach this fundamental discusion on peace..
After watching this video I'm left with very little hope for Africa an even less so for Somalia. It's a great pity he has little hope for the new generation of writers but I do understand where he's coming from. We live in a time where the person as opposed to their craft gains fame and this inevitably leaves young writers enamoured with themselves and their own fame. However if more young writers placed more importance on their work and stayed relatively obscure from public interest, there may yet be hope for the future of african literature.
He is, and as am I. But he is from the post-colonial group of African authors like Chinua Achebe who had thoughts and ideas they wanted to convey which had yet to be expressed in the literary community. Whereas our genration, although we equally have a lot to say, our narratives are overwhlmed with a 21st century sense of fame. But since the last time I wrote this I am starting to change my mind about African literature. There are still alot of African narratives which have yet to be expressed in lterature and there are still authors who give more value to their craft than themselves and their identity.
Deedee A. I agree. But we can also say that he doesn't see or understand the perspective of the Young "civil-war" generation diaspora and their view on Africa and Somalia. Though he's a pioneer is Somali literature, he's a determining factor, for those who are up coming. I mean we can look to him as an example of a GREAT writer but we don't actually need him.

I believe new upcoming writer will bring a new African narrative as African has and is changing for the last 20 years or so.
Hi Dr Lemarchand, I was wondering if you could tell me the original source of the frequently quoted statistic on Rwanda's ethnic make-up. You write in several of your articles that the country is composed of 85% Hutu, 14% Tutsi and 1% Twa. However it is not clear which original study these statistics are based, conducted this survey. Warm Regard
Great stuff. I've been following the Project closely and still will. Shame the summer programme is financially out of my reach - hope the RVI will keep offering such interesting opportunities. Thanks
