#thread on #SouthSudan & @just1nlynch story which you must read. Tweet equivalent of standing on a table w megaphone apnews.com/6d16a08f5b1d45…

#SouthSudan has blocked access to dozens of journos. Few get in, do good work. This by Justin is probably the best apnews.com/6d16a08f5b1d45…

Those of us who cover region know massive devastation underway in #SouthSudan but can't access. This matters apnews.com/6d16a08f5b1d45…

Following #thread on DP Ruto's meeting with foreign press [see last RT] I'll tweet some observations/analysis re: #Kenya so new #thread here

DP Ruto appeared confident and comfortable with the foreign press. He was consistent in his analysis of Mr. Odinga's motives to withdraw >>

DP Ruto said Mr. Odinga doesn't have the #s to win & is trying to force an internationally negotiated political compromise onto Kenyan govt

DP Ruto: we've rolled up our sleeves -As for whether Mr Odinga will participate or not that is his choice to make. #Kenya #Kenyadecides

DP Ruto: Mr Odinga mis-stepped and decided to interpret the constitution himself... I still find them giving conditions. #Kenya

#thread on inter-election #Kenya.
Signs of econ slowdown, common in all election cycles, exacerbated now. Thus downgrade of 2017 growth

#Kenya can't afford slowdown for debt repayment & other reasons. Heightening of tensions bolsters uncertainty & raises bar for normalization

Anything below 6% growth for Kenya is huge underperformance; we're looking at roughly 4.5% this year after 2 revisions by intl experts
