It was while in school that Khalid Albaih first realized the universal appeal of political satire:I noticed that we all have the same jokes. So the Palestinians joked about Arafat, and we joked about al-Bashir. Each one made a joke about their president, of course, whispering it, but it was all the same jokes, just different presidents. So that really made me feel that it was politics and/or the corruption of it, that really connected a lot of people, especially my generation.
