#Mali: 2 coups in 9 months (08/20; 05/21). #BurkinaFaso: also 2 in 9 (01/22; 09/22). Coups aren't the solution. Coups beget coups. Bad for business and human security. Lends strategic advantage to illicit groups, and illiberal pursuit of global powerhood #Sahel #BurkinaFasoCoup

One of the things I'm doing this year is trying to publish more in languages other than English. I keep running into the translation issue. Must work written in African (or non-European) languages always be translated into English (or French, or Portuguese etc)?
