Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Some Americans dismiss the warfare that occurs in Africa as "rooted in age-old tribal conflicts that outsiders can never understand." But after more than ten years of reporting from Africa, New York Times editor Bill Berkeley says "that’s not true." Berkeley joins Kojo to discuss his first-hand perspective on the roots of Africa’s worst conflicts, and the role tyranny, colonialism, and self-interest (issues we can all understand) played in them.
