"Rageh Omaar (
/ˈræɡi ˈoʊmɑː/; Somali: Raage Oomaar, Arabic: راجح عمر), (born 19 July 1967) is a Somali born British journalist and writer.
His latest book Only Half of Me deals with the tensions between these two sides of his identity. He used to be a BBC world affairs correspondent, where he made his name reporting from Iraq. In September 2006, he moved to a new post at Al Jazeera English, where he presented the nightly weekday documentary series Witness until January 2010. The Rageh Omaar Report, first aired February 2010, is a new one-hour, monthly investigative documentaries in which Rageh Omaar reports on the world's most important current affairs stories."
I like the way he explains things, the variety of points of views he gets in his reporting without judging, and above all his very human approach to any subject matter. In these episodes, precisely because of the two sides of his identity he tries to explore notions of history and depict reality as perceived by many. Understanding differences and bridging divides is important. The first step in any case, is to be informed.
