News Coverage Around the Globe

Monday, September 7th, 2009

Along with the recent Al Jazeera coverage in Qatar, Mark was interviewed by Sharmila Devi, who writes for Abu Dhabi English language paper, The National, covering the United Arab Emirates and the world.  Her article focused on the struggles Mark has encountered as a result of his work, but doesn’t fail to highlight what he considers an essential calling, to send a message to all that much of what divides us is a result of being “consumed with cultural traditions.”

Mark will also be an upcoming guest on Al Jazeera Arabic’s current events show, Min (From) Washington, with host Washington D.C. Bureau Chief Abderrahim Foukara. As a former U.N. Correspondent for Al Jazeera, Mr. Foukara interviewed senior U.S. and U.N. officials as well as senior U.S. correspondents, columnists and writers. More details on our itinerary page.
