Professor Nsia-Pepra in the local media

It has been a busy week for Dr. Nsia-Pepra, with violence breaking out across the Middle East, local media outlets have been asking him to share his expertise.  In an interview with the Lima News, Nsia-Pepra told the paper that the controversial film might have precipitated the attacks but that anti-American attitudes abound there.  Despite those attitudes, he maintains that many Libyans are grateful to the United States for their help in removing Moammar Ghadafi as their dictator.  He argued that the Libyans would not likely sacrifice this relationship.

Nsia-Pepra was also interviewed by the local television news outlet, WLIO Lima.  In his interview, Nsia-Pepra repeated his contention that extremists used the video to inflame passions there and that the solution would be to hunt down the culprits and hold them accountable for their actions.
