I am speaking about my book and other Somali issues from 1-2.30 pm on Saturday 9 March at The Idea Store in Whitechapel. The address is 321 Whitechapel Road, London E1 1BU . Please come if you can. Light refreshments will be provided and copies of my book will be available for sale and signing. More details are available by clicking here:   Idea Store Events The event went very well, with lots of lively discussion afterwards, especially about the role of women in Somali society.
