In search of the missing pieces of the puzzle in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Author of The Wizard of the Nile - The Hunt for Africa's Most Wanted (Portobello), a book about my quest to track down Joseph Kony, the leader of Uganda's Lord's Resistance Army rebels.

I started working as a journalist with Reuters with assignments mainly in Africa, along with a stint embedded with US Marines during the invasion of Iraq. I have since written for publications including The Economist, The Times and Esquire and have appeared from time to time as a commentator on the BBC World Service. I also write the odd article for The Literary Review.

From 2007 to 2012, I worked for the Financial Times on assignment in West Africa and later Afghanistan and Pakistan. I now cover both countries as a special correspondent for Reuters.
