Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
For 1,400 years, the Muslim world has been wracked by political and theological rifts between the Shias and the Sunnis. Kojo explores the history of the Shia/Sunni split, and the legacy it has wrought on contemporary Mid-East crises.
