#Op_ed: Mirage of Pillar: Why #Djibouti’s ‘rentier’ reality cannot outrun Horn’s maritime pivot
In this rebuttal, Adam Daud Ahmed challenges the portrayal of Djibouti as an unshakeable “pillar of stability,” arguing that current conditions mask a regime prioritizing survival over meaningful reform.
Ahead of the 2026 elections, constitutional maneuvers have cleared the path for a “lifetime presidency,” making the state a high-risk dependency tied to a single leader. With no independent press and widespread censorship, “stability” has become little more than the absence of an audible alternative. High debt and reliance make Djibouti a “leveraged middleman” rather than a reliable partner.
The author concludes that its “Rentier Fortress” prioritizes regime longevity over institutional reform.

Thousands flee #Akobo after #South_Sudan army issues forced evacuation order
Thousands of civilians have fled an opposition stronghold in eastern South Sudan after the army ordered evacuations to clear the way for a military offensive, the latest sign that the country’s fragile peace is unravelling, as fears of a return to all-out civil war haunt the world’s youngest nation.

#Kenya flood toll rises to 42 as government pledges support for affected families
The death toll from severe flooding in Kenya has risen to 42 since Friday after heavy rains triggered flash floods across several regions, police said Sunday.
Authorities said 26 of the deaths were recorded in the capital #Nairobi, where floodwaters swept through low-lying neighborhoods and informal settlements, submerging homes and carrying away vehicles as rivers overflowed their banks.

#Commentary: #Ethiopian National Dialogue Commission: Monolingual mediator in multilingual country
Established in 2021, the National Dialogue Commission (#NDC) is tasked with fostering inclusive dialogue, peace, and social cohesion in #Ethiopia. However, Mesfin Wodajo argues the Commission operates in a “de facto monolingual” manner in a country of more than eighty languages. Despite its commitment to inclusivity, he contends its heavy reliance on Amharic risks “alienating” large segments of the population.
Mesfin cautions that “language could constrain or empower participants in such national dialogues" and emphasizes that the absence of a clear translation and interpreting strategy reflects an “age-old ideology of implicit linguistic nationalism.”
He urges the NDC to “adopt a multilingual operational framework” to safeguard linguistic rights and ensure meaningful participation for all.
