Proud of what we accomplished over the past three years at MBN, including at @alhurranews, humbled and honored to have worked with some great people, very talented journalists and writers in Springfield, Dubai, Beirut and throughout the region. 1/3

There was only one single exception: @AlbertoMiguelF5 at @alhurranews.
