OISÍN McILROY | I’m a journalist with experience covering politics, security, finance, and technology from London and Hong Kong.
I’m especially interested in the Middle East, North Africa, and the Sahel.
On my WESTERN PERIPHERIES substack, I write about politics and conflict stories neglected by the front pages.
