Called "the African Garbo" by The New York Times and acclaimed for the modern African works Flesh and the Devil, Long Train to the Redeeming Sin and Nile River Woman, Egyptian-Sudanese-American novelist and poet KOLA BOOF was forced to save her American citizenship in 2002 by admitting to being the former mistress of terrorist OSAMA BIN LADEN (1996)...a relationship that Kola Boof insists was against her will. At no time in history has Ms. Boof referred to herself as a "sex slave", but the U.S. Media has often falsely reported this along with other lies about the author.  In a 2-part interview with MSNBC NEWS (WATCH VIDEO) Ms. Boof stated that she has never been anyone's "sex slave" and refused to be called one.  In the late 1990's, Kola Boof was a secret agent performing spy missions for the SPLA (notably Operation Miuokda).  In 2007, Kola Boof won her first major writing award from of all places, Stockholm, Sweden, the 2007 Woman to Woman Swedish Writer's Pen for Boof's Non-fiction article "I Am My Own Daughter" in OTTAR MAGAGINE, and headlined a triumphant reading at the prestigious Schomburg Center in N.Y. Noted PRINCETON critic Kam Williams chose Ms. Boof's autobiography Diary of a Lost Girl as the 2006 BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR (SEE STORY), and in 2008, officials of the South Sudanese government appointed Kola Boof National Chairwoman of the United States Branch of the SSPP Peace Organization, serving under President Francis Bok and Commanders in Sudan--BF Bankie and Deng Ajak.

Despite the U.S. Media's unprofessional jokes about Boof's name and their mis-reporting of the details of her involvement with Osama Bin Laden, noted N.Y. University Professor and writer Derrick Bell has called Boof "a brilliantly gifted writer", and the legendary Nigerian Scholar and critic Chinweizu in 2005 wrote a letter to Chinua Achebe and Toni Morrison heralding Boof as "Africa's most important new novelist". Stephen Elliott, author of Happy Baby and Looking Forward to It, has said that Boof "writes like a singer" and The New York Times praised her work as, "earthy, angry and alluring."  Boof was famously attacked by journalist Peter Bergen in 2006, but comments he made about the veracity of her autobiography were quickly proven incorrect (SEE STORY).  In America, Boof has been widely criticized by journalists and fellow liberal Democrats for her PRO-America/PRO-Africa/ANTI-Arab Muslim political stance and has been labeled a "Jew Lover." Additionally, the author has suffered ridiculous accusations of being a "cannibal," "mind-controlled by the CiA," and the subject of Internet troll websites that distort Ms. Boof's history and post lies about her comments and writings.

All controversies aside, Kola Boof is essentially a novelist and poet. Kola Boof has been featured in Harper's Literary Magazine, and interviewed by MSNBC NEWS, FOX NEWS, GMTV (UK), BNN Television (Netherlands) and was featured on CNN SHOWBIZ TODAY and in TIME MAGAZINE.  A documentary about Kola Boof's life and work which features footage with her children is also available online (WATCH VIDEO)

KOLA BOOF SAYS "SUPPORT BARACK OBAMA!"

KOLA BOOF:

"I think the best thing for all humanity right now is that we elect a
President who values and respects all of us--male and female,
every race, creed and color, every religion and every sexual orientation.

I believe that only Barack Obama could be that President.

I believe that his ability to empathize with every type of human
being...when coupled with his youth, vitality and energy...will bring
major Change, Vision and Inspiration not only to the United States
but to the whole world.

We need to choose the FUTURE...and let go of the PAST.

Barack Obama represents the FUTURE, he represents UNITY
and he represents a FRESH START.

'Kola readers' have heard me praise Hillary Clinton
in the past. You know how much I admire Hillary
and so many other politicians who happen to be
women--but right now, Hillary is not the best we can do.
The establishment needs a rest.

Of all the wonderful choices we have in 2008...Barack Obama is the
absolute best.  Please everyone--we can't let this opportunity pass
us by.  VOTE OBAMA."
