Over at the Council on Foreign Relations John Campbell has a new blog, Africa in Transition, that you should be reading (I have added it to the blogroll as well). Campbell is the Ralph Bunche Senior Fellow for African Studies at CFR, is a former ambassador to Nigeria, and served as political counselor at the U.S. Embassy in Pretoria during South Africa’s 1994 elections.
Campbell has a new book, Nigeria: Dancing on the Brink, and CFR has produced a series of short background videos on key issues in Nigeria to accompany the rollout of the book. Given the upcoming elections in Nigeria in 2011 Campbell’s work could not be more timely.
