Summary

When the Taliban took back control of Afghanistan in 2021 Hamida Samar thought her life was over. But now with the support of Rural Australians for Refugees and volunteer Marie Sellstrom she’s not only been given protection here, she's dedicated herself to helping other Afghan women. In 2021 Islamic Jihadists went on a rampage at a French gas project in Northern Mozambique, slaughtering more than 14 hundred people over four days. In his new book, Blood Will Flow, writer and journalist Alex Perry tells how the promise of striking it rich in a faraway African nation, blinded a multi-billion dollar French energy company to a catastrophe foretold.
