This month: Sherif Arafa from Egypt with ‘Buying weapons in the US’
Not only is Sherif Arafa a well-known cartoonist, but he is also a dentist, a motivational speaker, and an author. For a number of years, Arafa was the cartoonist for the Egyptian state-run paper Rosalussef but he struggled there with censorship and was unable to depict former President Mubarak. Sherif is currently based in the United Arab Emirates.
