Yasin Kakande

Stories of truth, identity, migration, and power.

My latest novels are fiction. That choice came with experience.

Writing nonfiction once got me kicked out and deported from Dubai. Fiction offers a different road. In fiction a writer can tell difficult truths through story, character, and imagination. And if someone reads it and decides it cannot be real, that is fine too. After all, it is only a story.

If you enjoy what you read here, continue the journey with me. Follow the blog, share the ideas, and consider picking up a copy of my books. The novels may be fiction, but inside them are questions aboutthe world we all live in.

This is not a quiet corner of the internet. It is a place where words speak plainly and where uncomfortable questions are allowed to live.​

 

This blog is a journey of knowledge, curiosity, and sometimes rough laughter at the strange theater of politics and power. The idea here is simple. Every human life has value. No politician, government, corporation, or powerful individual should be allowed to treat other people’s lives as if they are disposable.

On this page, corruption is called out openly. Racism is called out. Discrimination is called out. Imperial power games are called out. Abuse of office, torture, and the everyday arrogance of power will be named exactly for what they are.

Some stories here will be serious. Some will carry dark humor, because the world can be absurd in ways that are both tragic and strangely funny. The goal is not simply to entertain. The goal is to understand the world and to speak honestly about it.

You will find essays, commentary, and stories about politics, power, and the  lives that are often ignored when powerful people make their decisions. This space is for readers who believe that truth matters, even when it is inconvenient.
