Starting tomorrow, I will no longer be writing regular posts at Governance Village. The mixture of news and anecdote that I've been sharing for the last six months will henceforth be relegated to my private thoughts. This might not be a bad thing - one less blog to crowd your blogroll!

But if you're reading this, I assume you aren't entirely put off by my egotism and bombast. You may even find my take on African affairs remotely interesting.

Which is why, before leaving, I've decided to summarize my online reading routine - the source of much of my writing - in case you're keen to follow up. Yesterday, I listed the main news sites I visit regularly; today, I give you my blogroll. I've listed only the blogs relevant to African governance and development.

Global Voices: Sub-Saharan Africa
- For regular roundups of the African blogosphere, including translation from French and Portuguese, e.g. Gabon: Presidential Candidate Uses Social Media in Historic Election

White African
- For the latest on technology in Africa, e.g., Reactions to SEACOM going live today

Wronging Rights
- For biting sarcasm and spot-on human rights analysis, e.g., Things That Are Awesome: de Waal, on "Listening"

Aid Watch
- For the thoughts of development critic Bill Easterly, e.g., R2P: A Priest, A Linguist, and an Economist Walk into the General Assembly…

Chris Blattman
- For short and sharp posts from a development economist, e.g., Should Jay-Z read more foreign policy?

Post Conflicted
- For yet another economist's take, especially good for links, e.g., Why modern media is so bad

Africa is a Country
- For the most thorough blend of African culture and politics I know (currently on hiatus), e.g., frederick chiluba's shoes

Texas in Africa
- For specialization on Congo from a new PhD, with good links, e.g. this & that

Scarlett Lion
- For great photos and journalistic commentary from Liberia, e.g., Foreign Policy: War Criminal Charles Taylor Clears the Courtroom

Blood and Milk
- For the personal take of a public health expert, e.g., May 2008 - What's the difference between relief and development?

Things Seen and Heard
- For clever anecdotes from a British journalist in Nairobi, e.g., Africa's Fine

African Media
- For a new micro-blogging project by a journalist friend, e.g., richie's world

There are other brilliant blogs I casually follow. Many of them are linked regularly from the blogs mentioned above. I'm sure I left out some gems. If you know of any, feel free to post them in the comments - for my and other readers' benefit.

Until next time, so long!

P.S. Though this is goodbye, I wouldn't advise taking the drastic step of deleting me from your RSS feeds or bookmarks - as I said earlier, I still hope to post sporadically.
