Having the privilege to attend Gabrielle Goliath's exhibition, Elegy, in Venice was an experience that will stay with me for the rest of my life. You can find out more about it in this week's edition of @thecontinent_ .

Plenty of storylines and players to look out for. Football does not sleep and neither should you

I got quoted in @thecontinent_ this week (Issue 246) on Macky Sall's bid to lead the UN. My take: it's a serious candidacy, but the structural odds are against him, and they say as much about the institution he wants to run as about the man.

Access to justice requires court cases that produce fair and timely rulings, and that people can afford.
Do Africans believe they can obtain these things in their country? How does economic status affect these views?
Our latest piece in @thecontinent_ has the details.

Welcome to Issue 246 of The Continent.
We’ve been around for a while. But nowhere near as long as the family ruling Togo. What was covered as a constitutional power-grab last year, came at a devastating human cost.

As you grab your tea,do yourself a solid & read this fun piece I wrote for @thecontinent_ as I preview the World Cup Final by asking which team can Africa root for? There is also incredible, well-sourced journalistic work to explore. Check out here: thecontinent.org

Africa is home to the world’s fastest-growing pool of young talent. So what's preventing many of them from finding work?
According to young Africans themselves, the main barrier to youth employment is a lack of sufficient job training (cited by 27% of respondents aged 18-35).
Our latest @thecontinent_ piece has more.

What happens when a liberation movement delays succession for too long? Muhoozi Kainerugaba is more than an internet provocateur and the president’s son. He's the heir apparent, maybe.

Goons, les miliciens, baltagiya: different names, same job. Across Africa, muscle-for-hire helps politicians wield power through intimidation and violence, and maintain plausible deniability.
