Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
It’s been more than fifteen years since the nation of Somalia had a functioning government. This week, the United Nations warned that more than 2.5 million Somalis face a major humanitarian crisis due to violence raging in the capital of Mogadishu and the worst drought in decades. We get an update the situation in the region, a place the United States left more than 15 years.
