Pirates, Zealots and the Derailments of War

This entry was posted on 30 August 2012.

An ageing Jeebleh has returned to Somalia to visit old friends in his beloved Mogadiscio. He is accompanied by his son-in-law, Malik, a journalist intent on covering the region’s ongoing turmoil. Instead of the chaos, however, the two are greeted by an eerie calm, enforced by white-robed figures bearing whips. Soon, Malik’s brother, Ahl, arrives in Puntland, the region notorious as a pirates’ base. Ahl is searching for his stepson, who has vanished from the States, apparently recruited by an imam allied to Somalia’s rising insurgency.
