The United States faces major challenges in dealing with Iran, the threat of terrorism, and the tide of political instability in the Arabian Peninsula. The presence of some of the world’s largest reserves of oil and natural gas, vital shipping lanes, and Shia populations throughout the region have made the peninsula the focal point of US and Iranian strategic competition. Moreover, large youth populations, high unemployment rates, and political systems with highly centralized power bases have posed other economic, political, and security challenges that the Gulf states must address and that the United States must take into consideration when forming strategy and policy.

La esperanza, la angustia y el humor amable conviven en esta novela gráfica sobre la infancia que Omar y su hermano Hassán vivieron en un campo de refugiados de la ONU en Kenia. La vida allí es dura, pues nunca hay suficiente comida y el acceso a la atención médica es limitado, además Hassán dejó de hablar cuando salieron de Somalia por la guerra. Es entonces cuando Omar tiene la oportunidad de ir a la escuela, algo que le da a su vida una visión esperanzadora del futuro. Este libro es necesario, porque representa una mirada íntima, importante y real a la vida cotidiana de un niño refugiado. Esta obra ha recibido una ayuda a la edición del Ministerio de Cultura y Deporte.
