I can do no better than outsource today’s links to the mysterious Texas in Africa blogger, who writes:
- My friend and fellow eastern Congo researcher, Barnard College assistant professor Severine Autesserre, gave an excellent interview to Martin Savidge on World Focus this evening; check out her wonderful explanation of what the U.S. should be doing to help end the crisis there.
- We here at TIA HQ are incredibly flattered to have been quoted in some pretty cool places this week. Definitely check out Georgianne Nienaber’s excellent, heartbreaking reflection on the poor coverage of Africa that pervades Western news outlets for the Huffington Post…
- Amanda and Kate of Wronging Rights point out some of the delicious/appalling ironies of the U.S. government’s decision to send camcorders to the Congo…
- The U.S. Special Envoy to Sudan, Scott Gration, pens a “This I Believe” column on the country’s situation. I wish we had more people like him involved in U.S. Africa policy.
- Thought on one of Ethiopia’s supreme cultural values…
- The neocons love Jon Stewart because he’s a grown-up who lets them talk.
