Amazing how President Kiir now appears as a strong and popular leader after removing a Vice President from office whom he himself brought there in the first place #SouthSudan #succession #SKM #BBM

In light of yesterday's news I have to say that the pitfalls of generational change in #SouthSudan become more and more visible. Decisions like this won't get the country out of its perception as being the most corrupt place on the planet. https://t.co/JJAZyRiso1

My take on the recent political crisis in #SouthSudan, arguing that the perception whereby the #peaceprocess and R-ARCSS are collapsing is fundamentally misleading. https://t.co/x2aAINflNm

Deeply worried
I’m deeply worried by the latest events in the Middle East. A further dangerous escalation must be avoided, it would destabilise the whole region. I urge for restraint and diplomacy.

The oil sector's importance on #SouthSudan's economy is shrinking, with or without disruption by the #Sudan war. What the country needs is international loans, and they won't come as long as there is no credible action against structural #corruption. https://t.co/eWAgrgo6dp

Oil’s importance to South Sudan’s economy is often exaggerated – the bigger challenge facing Juba is its inability to secure new loans.

attacking the University sector again with rules that don't make any sense will not help UK as a global thought leader. Running after cheap votes won't bring you anywhere.

Burkina's #Traore is the product of smart content creation reflecting "what Africans, frustrated by governments, dream of". But be clear, he is not real. https://t.co/XO34UYyWIR

Everything Captain Traore is said to be doing or saying mirrors the aspirations of Africans disillusioned by governments failing to steer their nations' destinies.

The current social media campaign praising #Traore as a pan-African anti-imperialist hero of the people is interesting. It seems to combine strategic Russian misinformation with Burkinabi government campaigning, addressing effectively grassroots activism.
Have you ever seen a single tweet of someone from Burkinafaso praising this guy’s administration so far?
