I have never encountered such a dramatic stituation like in eastern #Chad. The stories of the refugees from #Darfur are devestating. Aid organisations are overwhelmed with the number of people. A thread... #Sudan #SudanCrisis

After 2 years of war, the #Tigray region in #Ethiopia is recovering slowly. People are traumatized but also hopeful. A thread with pictures from my latest trip.

„Tidjane Thiam? Nie gehört“, sagt die Näherin in Abidjan. Der Ex-CS-Boss startet in der Elfenbeinküste eine Politkarriere. Wird er gar Staatspräsident? srf.ch/news/international/ti…

Tidjane Thiams neue Karriere - Vom Chef der Credit Suisse zum Präsidenten der Elfenbeinküste?

Der frühere CS-Boss Thiam versucht in Afrika eine Politkarriere. Doch er war lange nicht vor Ort. Vor- oder Nachteil?

There are so many links between football and politics in Africa. That’s why I wanted to make a whole program about it. (And a thread 🧵) See Ivorian president Alassane Ouattara at the opening game of #AFCON2023. The crowd chanting his name (ADO).

One of the players from 2005 was Bonaventure Kalou @bonakalou8. Today mayor of small Ivorian town Vavoua. «Drogbas speech was an important statement», he remembers. «But it was not just football that stopped the civil war.» The fighting ended eventually, but resumed in 2010/11.
