==Career==
Shukri's writing career was launched in 2004, when his unpublished manuscript, ''The Silent Minaret'', won the European Union Literary Award. The novel, which deals with the global impact of the "War on Terror,"〔 was inspired by the announcement of the War in Afghanistan in November 2001. His second novel, ''I See You'', expands on the themes established in ''The Silent Minaret'', with conflict centering on an abducted war photographer. He has said he hopes his writing complicates people's notions of "boil-in-the-bag recipes for ready-to-eat patriotism."〔
In 2015, Shukri was nominated for the inaugural Financial Times Oppenheimer Funds Emerging Voices Awards, but rejected the award. Shukri stated he objected to the classification of "emergent," which is often applied to African writers, and belittles the global impact of African literature, Shukri said.
Shukri cites Edward Said and his memoir ''Out of Place'', and T.E. Lawrence's ''Seven Pillars of Wisdom'' as some of his greatest influences.〔
