Crilly on Africa: Peace Processes, Prognostications, and Pints

Posted by David Sullivan on December 25, 2008

Journalist Rob Crilly’s African Safari blog is becoming a must-bookmark for his combination of first-rate reporting and acerbic wit. Visit for the on-the-ground perspective on the LRA’s activities  in northeast Congo, stay for the hilarious predictions about Africa in 2009 (my favorite: Somali pirates buy Djibouti, launch bid for 2020 Olympics) and the useful field guide to the continent’s malt beverages. One qualm: Crilly does not do nearly enough justice to Liberia’s infamous Club lager; a public health specialist once told me he was convinced this beer causes malaria.
