Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
U.S. troops formally withdrew from Iraq’s cities yesterday — a symbolic moment for Americans and Iraqis. While some people celebrated in the streets of Baghdad, many others stayed home, anxious over the implications of security changes. We’ll talk with Iraqi-Americans about how the withdrawal and Iraqi politics look from thousands of miles away.
Guests
- Samir Sumaida'ie Iraqi Ambassador to the United States
- Andy Shallal Owner of Busboys and Poets, Iraqi American, peace activist, artist, and co-founder of The Peace Cafe.
- Camille Elhassani Senior White House Producer, Al Jazeera English
