Alms in the Name of Allah
Muslim NGOs have long aided their spiritual brothers, and are now playing a larger role on the humanitarian stage. We explore the growth of Muslim aid organizations across the globe, and examine the care they provide and the concerns they raise.
AIDS–The Politics of Prevention
For nearly 30 years, AIDS has ravaged lives and nations around the world. We diagnose the practice of treatment and prevention in South Africa and Brazil – countries with different prescriptions for the same disease. And we examine the Bush Administration’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief.
Splitting Sudan
The country of Sudan has been at war with itself for much of its history. A U.S.-backed peace deal in 2005 put an end to civil war, and also guaranteed South Sudan a vote for self-determination. But the potential for renewed conflict looms.
Words and Deeds–Freedom of Expression and Arab Youth
In a politically stagnant region where absolute monarchies and authoritarian regimes restrict political activity and freedom of speech, what are the alternative channels for self‐expression? How do young people participate in the political, civic, and cultural spheres? And, what are the consequences of a large youth population frustrated by life under repressive regimes?
Remembering the Cole
Ten years ago, al-Qaeda recruits piloted a small boat loaded with explosives alongside the USS Cole while it was docked in Aden, Yemen. The ensuing blast killed 17 US sailors and injured dozens more. We reconstruct the events of that day, and we examine America's security in the days and decade after the attack.
Overlooked and Underpaid–Arab Youth in Today's Economy
Nearly a quarter of Arabs under 30 are jobless. Long gone are the days of a guaranteed government gig, and the private sector is far from filling the gap. At best, unemployment and flagging Arab economies lead to a generation of bored and frustrated youth. At worst, economic conditions create a breeding ground for extremism and instability.

America Abroad is an award-winning documentary radio program distributed by Public Radio International (PRI) and broadcast on public radio stations nationwide. Each month, we take an in-depth look at one critical issue in international affairs and U.S. foreign policy.

Anchored by public radio host Ray Suarez, this monthly program covers global issues ranging from the challenges in Iran and North Korea, to the European debt crisis and the roots of the Arab Spring.

The hour-long broadcast combines original reporting, expert analysis, and historical pieces that incorporate archival audio and eyewitness accounts. No other public radio program devotes the same amount of time, depth of coverage, and level of analysis to a single issue in international affairs.

America Abroad is broadcast on more than 100 public radio stations around the United States. For full programs, check out the links below.
