Unlike other post-coup governments, #Guinea has followed ECOWAS’ transition timeline and returned to elections, with polls planned for 31 May. But democracy requires more than voting – it depends on political pluralism, inclusion and public trust in institutions. ISS Today

#Guinea’s legislative and local elections on 31 May are the final step in re-establishing constitutional order. Unlike in other post-coup regimes, ECOWAS’ timeline has been honoured. But dissolving 40 political parties before elections undermines democratic prospects. ISS Today

5️⃣ SA’s back on the IMO Council. The IMO's 2026–2027 theme – Policy to Practice – is effectively a challenge to a country that has long produced plans but struggled to implement them. The #BlueTalks roundtable didn’t produce new policies, but left people with concrete, owner-assigned commitments and a deadline to turn talks into action.

Addressing this requires legal reforms, cross-border coordination via IGAD, and community-led protection models.

2⃣ Egypt's restrictive visa policies force refugees into informal settlements. South Sudan struggles with returnees and asylum seekers caught in legal limbo. Chad's weak border governance leads to improvised protection measures.

1⃣ The crisis is a governance stress test. Sudanese refugees face stark gaps between legal protections and reality: lack of documentation, fear of arrest, and unclear procedures.

The social development department is not peripheral to South Africa's development agenda – it is foundational to it. Dear President @CyrilRamaphosa: please appoint a minister of excellence with the empathy, courage and ability to reform a dysfunctional department. ISS Today

Letter to @CyrilRamaphosa: SA cannot grow its economy while the social development department is failing. Violence prevention, child protection and family support are not peripheral welfare functions — they are essential economic and social infrastructure. ISS Today #Tolashe
