Many thanks for publishing Professor Mamdani' s brilliant analysis of the situation in the Sudan. But the Ugandan intellectual should have included his nationality instead of just telling his readers that he is an eminent professor at Columbia Univesity. Hence, Dr. Mamdani, in spite of what is happening in Africa, ought to be proud of not only his Asian roots but also his birthplace Africa (Uganda).

Editors reply: The omission of Mamdani's nationality was our doing, not his. The description of his present post was inserted by us, not him. We don't, as a policy, declare contibutor's nationalities, just as we haven't included yours.
