Sudan's Banking System

The Sudan Democracy First Group, whose members are from civil society and the media, published in December 2018 a report titled "Banking System in Sudan: Political Influence and Personal Interests Breed Corruption and Lack of Transparency."

The paper analyzes Sudan's banking system from its foundation in 1960 to the present date. This critical assessment argues that the Sudanese banking system lacks political, operational, and financial independence due to frequent intervention from government and other influential and corrupt persons in the banking business.

The Environmental Impact of China's Investment in Africa

The Yale University School of Forestry and Environmental Studies hosted a conference on 4 April 2015 on Chinese Overseas Investment and Its Environmental and Social Impacts.  I was asked to give a presentation on "The Environmental Impact of China's Investment in Africa."  The remarks are a summary of a much longer paper still under revision that will be published early in 2016 in the Cornell International Law Journal

On 8 April 2015 the International Policy Digest published a shortened version of my remarks at Yale.
