What a year to live in! Worth all other times ever known in our history or any other.
I am an Egyptian Muslim, educated in Cairo and New York, and now living in Vienna. My wife and I have spent half our lives in the North, half in the South. And we have experienced first hand the unique nature of the human family and the common values we all share.
My forebears refused to cut the sugar cane for plantation owners, and I am recognisably a product of that background.
