ALEXIS OKEOWO writes for the New Yorker, the NYT Magazine an others. 

Just read her article on the movie TIMBUKTU which was published yesterday. 

On her blog a couple of interesting links on other stories like that one about a radical anti-slavery Mauritanian or “The People vs. Boko Haram“. 

She is writing a book about people standing up to extremism in Africa, to be published by Hachette. Someone interesting to follow for sure.
