Hi Ethan, here is an interesting “heads up” for you in case you don’t already know. Ory Okolloh is appeared on CNN International this past weekend (at least here in Europe). The 1/2 hour interview with the “Kenyan Pundit” is excellent and I am sure that you don’t want to miss it. CNNI website has the video (3-part) available on the African Voices site
