Timeline

1961

Michela Wrong (Born 1961), is a British journalist and author who spent more than two decades writing about Africa.

Her postings as a journalist began in Europe and then West, Central and East Africa.

She has worked for Reuters, the BBC, and the Financial Times before becoming a freelance writer.

1998

It focuses on a border dispute between two fictional states in the Horn of Africa, which the Financial Times reviewer thought resembled the Ethiopia-Eritrea disputes in 1998–2000.

In 2021 she published Do Not Disturb: The Story of a Political Murder and an African Regime Gone Bad, about Rwanda, its president Paul Kagame, and the murder of Patrick Karegeya.

A review of the book in The Washington Post called the book "devastating", while The Guardian called it "uncomfortable reading."

Rwandan journalist Vincent Gasana, however, criticized the book as "the latest bid to cast the RPF as the villain of any piece, while attempting to delegitimise the Rwanda government."

2001

Her debut book, In the Footsteps of Mr. Kurtz (2001), covers the time she spent in Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo) as it transitioned from the leadership of Mobutu Sese Seko to that of Laurent-Désiré Kabila.

2004

Her second book, I Didn't Do It For You: How the World Betrayed a Small African Nation (2004), discusses the nation of Eritrea and the role foreign nations have played in its history during the 20th century.

2009

Her third book, It's Our Turn to Eat: The Story of a Kenyan Whistle-Blower (2009), tells the story of John Githongo, a Kenyan journalist and civil society activist, who in 2002 took on a senior anti-corruption role within the newly elected government of President Mwai Kibaki.

In this role, Githongo uncovered widespread evidence of corruption (notably the Anglo-Leasing scandal) located high up within the Kibaki government.

The book also discusses the role of ethnicity in Kenyan politics and is strongly critical of the response of the international aid community to Githongo's case.

The World Bank and the British government's aid department (the Department for International Development) come in for particularly strong criticism, though notable exceptions are also highlighted, such as Edward Clay, the then British High Commissioner to Kenya.

It's Our Turn to Eat was censored in Kenya, leading to PEN Kenya president and activist Philo Ikonya acquiring books and bringing them into the country for wider distribution.

In 2009 she authored a novel, Borderlines, a legal thriller with a female lawyer protagonist.

2010

She was awarded the 2010 James Cameron prize for journalism “that combined moral vision and professional integrity.”

Wrong lives in London and is regularly interviewed by the BBC, Al Jazeera, and Reuters on her areas of expertise.

She has published opinion pieces and book reviews in The Observer, The Guardian, Financial Times, New York Times, New Statesman, Spectator, Standpoint, Foreign Policy, and travel pieces for Condé Nast's Traveler magazine.

She speaks fluent Italian and French.

She is a former literary director of the Miles Morland Foundation, an organisation that actively supports writers and literary projects across Africa.

Wrong is the granddaughter of Oxford historian Edward Murray Wrong and daughter of the nephrologist Oliver Wrong.
