About

I am a journalist presently working in The Hague. I have written for most of the main British newspapers and many established magazine. I have also written for a few publications in America.

My main subjects of interest are international affairs and finance / economics.

I have been writing about these subjects for over ten years, both as a freelance journalist and a full-time staffer.

For now, I have cast off my freelance cape and assumed full-time employ in The Hague, the Netherlands.

The main areas that I now cover are the Congo, Uganda and Sudan – all within the context of the International Criminal Court (ICC).

Although I am no longer a freelancer, I aim to keep this blog going, and continue to jot down my thoughts and political analysis that never make it in to print elsewhere.

Of course, the difference is that I now have to add a disclaimer to this About page and say that all content on this blog is my own, and in no way whatsoever represents the views of my employer.

Whoever they may be.
