SUMMARY:Books For Africa's Luncheon with Ambassador Mohamed Siad Doualeh
DESCRIPTION:Join Books For Africa’s Fundraising Luncheon\, featuring a keynote address from His Excellency Mohamed Siad Doualeh\, Ambassador of the Republic of Djibouti to the United States.  \n\n\n\nWho: His Excellency Mohamed Siad Doualeh\, in addition to being the ambassador to the U.S.\, represents Djibouti at the United Nations.
