#Guinea Defence Minister Aboubacar Sidiki Camara ("Idi Amin") is announcing pretty significant reforms in the country's force. It's important, because the military is a key player in Guinean politics. A thread...
President Condé was removed by a coup in last September and the country is led by a military junta under Colonel Doumbouya, the #CNRD.
Here are the key measures, and thoughts about their meaning and potential impact.
Esordio con gol decisivo, ieri sera, per Mustapha Elhadji Cissé in #BolognaAtalanta. Fino a inizio febbraio,questo ragazzo classe 2003 giocava in Salento nell'ASD Rinascita Refugees, una squadra di rifugiati e richiedenti asilo.

Fattosi conoscere nella cooperativa gestita dal mediatore linguistico senegalese Niang Baye Hassane, ha fatto rapidamente strada nella Primavera bergamasca, e già il 13 marzo è stato convocato in prima squadra.

Cissé è arivato in Italia giovanissimo, nel 2019, scappando dalla Guinea, un paese afflitto da gravi problemi di povertà e instabilità politica, e qui da noi ha fatto tutta la trafila dei centri di accoglienza.

The coup attempt in #GuineaBissau yesterday came weeks after the military takeover in Burkina Faso and follows last year’s coups in Chad, Guinea, Sudan and Mali.

As most of these countries are situated in West Africa, it would be easy to think the drivers of these coups are the same across the board, but the reality is more complex:
The January 2022 coup in #BurkinaFaso followed a growing insecurity in the country, a rise in #jihadist militancy and an increasingly frustrated army, especially after a deadly attack on 14 November 2021 left 53 soldiers dead, the highest death toll ever in one single attack.

Yesterday, @CIJ_ICJ handed down its judgment on the #maritimeboundary between #Somalia and #Kenya. This was the first judgment since the Court’s renewal in February 2021 and Judge Donoghue’s election as President (source of all images: @CIJ_ICJ). 👩🏻⚖️

Kenya did not appear at the oral proceedings before the ICJ after appearing at the preliminary objections phase (link to preliminary objections judgment below). However, the ICJ could rely on its written submissions, filed before deciding not to appear.

Somalia and Kenya had very different views on their maritime boundary. Somalia argued that there was no agreed boundary, so that the ICJ had to delimit a boundary by the 3-stage approach in use since the 2009 #BlackSea case (link below, [115]-[122]). 👩🏽💼

Como otros "países mina” su inestabilidad política está determinada por la apropiación de sus riquezas.

Yet another coup. This time in #Guinea. Once again it has a reignited the debate about coups in Africa. Indications are there is 📈 trend in the occurrence of coups. In 2019, there was one successful coup. In 2020, there were two. In 2021, three coups. 1/
This 📈 trend in the occurrence of coups corresponds with the deepening trend in the democratic governance deficit that has become characteristic of the politics of countries on the continent. 2/
This deficit involves, among others, narrowing down of the civic space, extension of term limits, flawed elections, undue restrictions on opposition groups, activists and independent media & rising frustration among the public, particularly the youth. 3/
