About Me

Hi, I'm Said. I write about international relations and geopolitics because I find the “why” behind global events more interesting than the headlines themselves. Why a treaty falls apart, why a border dispute resurfaces after decades, why one country's election ripples into another's economy.

I'm not a professional diplomat or academic — just someone who reads too much, follows conflicts and coalitions closely, and tries to make sense of them without the jargon. This site is where I put together the mini research pieces and analysis I wish I could find elsewhere: sourced, opinionated where it counts, and written for people who want more than a 500-word news summary but don't have time for a 40-page policy brief.

If you spot something I got wrong, tell me — I'd rather be corrected than confidently incomplete.
