Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik Celebrate Eid al-Adha Together with Their Mothers 

Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik are celebrating one of the holiest Muslim holidays with their families. Gigi's mother Yolanda Hadid posted on her Instagram page a photo of the three with Zayn's mother Trisha Malik, writing, "Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating......." Trisha posted the same pic on her own page, writing, "Eid Mubarak to everyone... #BlessedDay." Gigi and Zayn, who have been dating for more than a year and a half, have not posting their own messages. Gigi's and model sister Bella Hadid's father and Yolanda's ex-husband Mohamed Hadid, a Palestinian-American real estate developer, also shared a holiday greeting on Instagram Friday. "Happy Eid," he wrote. "From my family to yours. #hadidfamily." Gigi and Bella have rarely spoken about their religious upbringing. In an interview with PORTER magazine earlier this year, Bella said their father "was always religious, and he always prayed with us," adding, "I am proud to be a Muslim." Zayn told the London Evening Standard earlier this summer, "I'm not currently practicing but I was raised in the Islamic faith, so it will always be with me, and I identify a lot with the culture. But I'm just me. I don't want to be defined by my religion or my cultural background." Eid al-Adha is celebrated at the end of an annual Hajj, or pilgrimage to Mecca, and marks Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son to God. The holiday is marked by prayers, gifts and family meals. The most devout believers celebrate the Feast of the Sacrifice; animals are slaughtered and their meat is shared by family members and also distributed to other relatives, friends and the poor.

Chasing West Africa's Pirates

Image
When Somali piracy was at its height, I did a lot of reporting on the subject for the BBC. I spoke to lots of pirates and got to know people involved in trying to stop the problem, including British naval and other military personnel. They did a pretty good job - piracy dropped significantly in the Indian Ocean and Gulf of Aden. But it increased in West Africa, and some of the people fighting Somali piracy moved to the other side of the continent. They very kindly gave the superb journalist Penny Dale and me wonderful access to what they, the Nigerian navy and others are doing. Here is a link to our documentary: Chasing West Africa's Pirates documentary And here are a couple of BBC Online pieces: Danger Zone Kidnapped Twice Here is the script of a From Our Own Correspondent I did on the subject: It may come as a surprise to hear that Somalia is no longer Africa’s worst piracy hotspot. They may not be the subject of Hollywood movies or adventure stories, but West African pirates hav...
