Sister Jabou,

Indeed they found one. I recalled this guy particularly because during the past week, BBC:s Hard Talk interviewees are intellectuals from the Middle East; and I was especially surprised with the Saudi interior minister's knotty explanations of the links between Wahabism and the House of Saud.
Momodou Camara's forwarded piece (Saudi Arabia and Iraq) on the probable collapse of the House of Saud is quite frightening as it suggests Iraq is simply an important tactical acquisition for a far more important outpost of empire. In that light, it becomes all too obvious to see why at a flutter, policy wonks produce an anti-wahabi whiz.

Cheers,
Momodou S Sidibeh
