THE LAST GOOD BOOK I READ… Mutaru Mumuni Muqthar The Anatomy of Violence by Adrian Raine

Activist Mutaru Mumuni Muqthar said the last good book he read is ‘The Anatomy of Violence’ by Adrian Raine.

“The book does a prognosis of violence and the things that motivate societies to degenerate into it” Muqthar said. “It looks at it from the basic unit level and focuses on Africa as well. There are issues from Congo, Somalia and other African countries. Some people call it my Bible because I read it over and over.” 

Muqthar works across West Africa with a team of professionals he engages to de-radicalize vulnerable youths whom he helps to reintegrate into the society, school or work. He was awarded Daily Trust’s 2017 African of the Year award.
