I just came back from South Africa. I flew to Cape Town one week ago to do some work with the UN regarding a visit of a high-profile Iraqi delegation.
This picture was during a meeting with President Mbeki. Clockwise: Me, Dr. Mowaffak Al-Rubaie the national security advisor, President Thabo Mbeki, Sheikh Homam Hammodi the representative of SCIRI, Abbas Al-Bayyati a Iraqi Turcoman MP, Sayyed Baha Al-araji the representative of As-Sadr movement, and Professor Nicholas "Fink" Haysom.
I'll blog more about my trip to South Africa, it was so fruitful and eye-opening. But first I want to post my diaries from Louisiana.
Enjoy!
