No. I&#x27;m not &quot;attacking&quot; the author in any way (read again my post!), instead, I&#x27;m merely pointing to his background, since it&#x27;s valid to know the context of the article, he even writes explicitly in it:<p>&quot;I helped Uganda recover after a 25 year civil war&quot; &quot;I helped return democracy to Mali.&quot;<p>So it&#x27;s reasonable to discuss what&#x27;s behind these claims, which sound quite &quot;big&quot; at the first, and a little differently once the background is known.<p>Shouldn&#x27;t both the claims and his background be allowed to be discussed?
