In 2011 the journalist Michael Scott Moore was on assignment in Somalia on an assignment to document the spread of piracy in the Gulf of Aden. Just before he took a flight home, gunman stopped his car and forced him to get out. This was the beginning of 977 days in captivity. I had the opportunity to speak with Moore before he left for Somalia on his initial trip, and once he was freed. This is a recording of our conversation.\n\n#somalia #piracy #hostage #journalism\n\nThe Desert and the Sea: \n\nMoore's Website :\n\nGet Exclusive Updates on Patreon: \n\n\nMy weekly newsletter on Substack\n\n
