I just read your nice piece on Lesotho in the Guardian from a few years back. Kudos. My question must contain a question mark: ?
Tim Butcher
We are not such sticklers for question marks. I guess your words count more as a comment than a question but in this Time of Covid I'll take reader feedback whichever way it comes. Lesotho is another reason to visit Africa, an outlier in the sky that defies the cliches of easy continental categorisation. It really is special.

Tim, I just finished "Blood River". To discover how things are now, I checked Kisangani in Wikipedia. To my surprise, it has changed a lot: "The city is a centre for television, radio, theatre and film. The waterfront and nightlife attract residents and tourists alike." Either the situation has changed profoundly, or someone is putting a brave face on the situation (to be polite). The question is which?

Tim - I thoroughly enjoyed your original take on the origins of WWI in "The Trigger". The way you were able to weave your experience from the Bosnian War in the 90s added a further level to one's understanding of an important subject. You may have to ask Bosnian Tourism for royalties as you made the place seem most appealing to an adventurer! What do you plan on writing about next?
