Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Syrian refugee Mahmoud, in the underground shelter where he lives with his family in El Akbiya, Lebanon in 2013.
The ongoing conflict in Syria has created a major humanitarian crisis, resulting in waves of refugees fleeing the country. Europe has been in the spotlight as a destination for many Syrians, but last month, President Obama vowed to accept 10,000 refugees over the next 12 months. We explore both how and where those escaping overlapping wars will be resettled, as well as efforts to bring justice to those who have committed atrocities during the conflict.
