"I have always appreciated the good work you are doing. I read most of the content when I receive your newsletter. I have sometimes used material from your website in my writing and speeches in seminar. I believe it is crucial to know what others are doing and what is the latest thinking on the issues our centre is concerned about. I think your website is unique, however it does exclude lots of people, because I know many colleague in North Africa and the Middle East cannot read your website and others find little information about their countries. I would love to send you information about reports we produce or seminars we organise but they are only available in Arabic or French. However, I will send you my comments very soon. You are doing great job." - Said Essoulami, Executive Director, CMF MENA, UK
