I have a new academic essay at @haujournal on the famous Azande witchcraft, based on a decade of fieldwork and almost a dozen trips to Western Equatoria state of South Sudan. I try to unpack social transformation through the changing nature of oracles.

This AP story is illustrated by my pictures. I was in Ayod half a year ago, it was tense and on the edge of famine, but largely peaceful. The situation makes me extremely sad and devastated.

Certainly the most relevant thing I’ve read in this young year, unsurprisingly in the ever great @DissentMag.

It was nice meeting you, follow up in Bamako!

Flying back to Bamako after very interesting meetings and two workshops in Budapest to discuss the Sahel crisis. We differ obviously on Ukraine and many other things but there is common ground in the Sahel. ⁦@LaszloMathe_⁩

László Krasznahorkai is unusually experimental for a Nobel Prize in Literature winner, but in an unstable world, his selection feels perfectly timely. Walt Hunter on the political power of his timeless art: https://t.co/e2xbPHXqzf

Finally read this and I’m truly bewildered. There is some interesting reporting here, and some original threads to be pulled, but (despite the change to the article’s title) the conclusion is baffling. The liberal world order led to this war!
