EP 9 - Laura Kasinof: On meeting Yemeni Nobel Peace Prize Winner Tawakkol Karman and Socotra

Laura Kasinof was one of the few foreign journalists in Yemen as the Arab Spring started to unfold there. From Yemen, she reported for the New York Times. Kasinof is also the author of "Don't Be Afraid of the Bullets: An Accidental War Correspondent in Yemen."  In this episode of Tahrir Podcast, she talks about how she met Nobel peace prize winner Tawakkol Karman, how Abdurrabuh Mansur Hadi--current Yemeni President-- called her so she could hand the phone over to Karman so he could congratulate her, and much more.  Kasinof's book "Don't Be Afraid of the Bullets: An Accidental War Correspondent in Yemen."  : https://www.amazon.com/Dont-Afraid-Bullets-Accidental-Correspondent/dp/1628726482  Reach out!
