Hello all, my name is Susan and I am the new Middle East blogger at FPA. You can refer to the About page to see the list of places that I lived/studied. I am replacing Brian, who has moved on from FPA to a new job, so I will be writing daily about news and developments in the region. My background is in Arabic, so expect more on the Arabic-speaking countries in the Middle East, with some coverage of Iran and Israel as well.
It's my feeling that blogs work best when they provide a space for dialogue, so I hope that readers will share their thoughts in comments, or, if you prefer, via email. You can reach me at [email protected]. I will do my best to respond to all comments and emails.
Welcome, me.
