So proud of this team. They stuck with this important, challenging story even after they were laid-off.
Very honored that my last story for @washingtonpost, which published after I was laid off, won Le @PrixBayeux. It detailed the terrifying journey of a soldier trapped in the kill zone for 177 days. Was so glad to accept it in person with Anastacia Galouchka and Serhii Korolchuk.

"Pakistan has deployed between 30,000 and 40,000 troops to Saudi Arabia to help defend the kingdom's land borders". This is perhaps the biggest Pakistani land forces foreign deployment since 1971. Though not sure such huge numbers are only deployed in a defensive role.

Today is my last at The Washington Post. My job was eliminated in February along with the rest of the sports department, but my layoff was extended through September. The Post had one of the greatest collections of sports journalists ever. Working with each of them was an honor.
