Rob Annandale is a Vancouver-based writer who has lived, worked and travelled in over 60 countries, including 17 currently on the UN’s list of least developed countries. I have interviewed rebel commanders, farmers, refugees, religious leaders and prisoners. The resulting articles have appeared in the Guardian, Globe and Mail, and Toronto Star, among others.
