		ICWA LETTERS: Sub-Saharan Africa
			Wayne Kessler (Adi Teclesan 64-66) wrote: "There is an RPCV from The Gambia (90-92) named Marc Michaelson who is a Institute of Current World Affairs (ICWA) Fellow living and writing in Addis. He is currently visiting Eritrea for the third time. He writes monthly ICWA LETTERS: Sub-Saharan Africa that are published by the ICWA. He writes well and gives a sensitive account of the problems of both countries." E&E RPCVs has added these 12-page newsletters, that include maps and photos, to its library and they are highly recommended to those interested in an in-depth, lucid, current look at Ethiopia and Eritrea and their conflict.
