Africa: A Western journalist experiencing Africa

Arjen Westra writes about his experiences in Togo and Nigeria: “My first visit to Nigeria years ago, I did not get the AK47 roadblocks every 200 meters that people prepared me for. I neglected the advice of friends (who had never been to Africa), asking me if a story is worth my life. I went and I met a crazy country, but not the roadblocks.”

Descuide los consejos de mis amigos(los cuales nunca estuvieron en Africa), preguntandome si una historia is merece mi vida. Fui y encontre un pais loco, pero no el control policial”.
