  • Graphika Report Inauthentic Bee-Havior
    Coordinated Inauthentic Bee-havior The Thin Line Between Marketing and Political Propaganda: How an Egyptian Firm Ran Fake News Pages Targeting Ethiopia, Sudan and Turkey Jack Stubbs, C. Shawn Eib Executive Summary On April 6, Facebook announced the removal in March of a network of accounts and pages that it said originated in Egypt and violated its policy against foreign interference. The set consisted of six pages, 17 Facebook accounts, and three Instagram accounts, which posted about news and political events in Amharic, Arabic, and Turkish to target audiences in Ethiopia, Sudan, and Turkey. “The people behind this network relied on a combination of authentic, duplicate, and fake accounts, some of which used stock photos and went through significant name changes. These accounts were used to create and manage Pages posing as entities located in the countries they targeted,” Facebook said. Facebook said the network was particularly active in mid-2020 and posted content supporting the Egyptian government, as well as criticism of Turkish foreign policy and Ethiopia’s construction of a dam on the Blue Nile. “Although the people behind it attempted to conceal their identities and coordination, our investigation found links to Bee Interactive, a marketing firm in Egypt,” the company said. Facebook shared the set of accounts and pages with Graphika for further analysis before removing them from its platforms. This report details our analysis and assessments in two parts: the first examines the Facebook takedown set and its online footprint, the second looks at additional marketing campaigns we found with connections to staff at Bee Interactive.

  • The Executive Survey General Information and Guidelines
    The Executive Survey General Information and Guidelines Dear Country Expert, In this section, we distinguish between the head of state (HOS) and the head of government (HOG). • The Head of State (HOS) is an individual or collective body that serves as the chief public representative of the country; his or her function could be purely ceremonial. • The Head of Government (HOG) is the chief officer(s) of the executive branch of government; the HOG may also be HOS, in which case the executive survey only pertains to the HOS. • The executive survey applies to the person who effectively holds these positions in practice. • The HOS/HOG pair will always include the effective ruler of the country, even if for a period this is the commander of foreign occupying forces. • The HOS and/or HOG must rule over a significant part of the country’s territory. • The HOS and/or HOG must be a resident of the country — governments in exile are not listed. • By implication, if you are considering a semi-sovereign territory, such as a colony or an annexed territory, the HOS and/or HOG will be a person located in the territory in question, not in the capital of the colonizing/annexing country. • Only HOSs and/or HOGs who stay in power for 100 consecutive days or more will be included in the surveys. • A country may go without a HOG but there will be no period listed with only a HOG and no HOS. • If a HOG also becomes HOS (interim or full), s/he is moved to the HOS list and removed from the HOG list for the duration of their tenure.

Last week there fighting in Kajo-Keji county in Yei River State between the SPLA and rebel forces led by Dr. Riek Machar. The deputy spokesperson of the SPLA-IO, Col. Lam Paul Gabriel, said government troops attacked their positions on Friday morning.1 War blocks aid from reaching The continued fighting in South Sudan makes it difficult to deliver food aid to the people facing hunger says the World Food Programme (WFP). The fighting that has continued in Bahr el Ghazal and Central Equatoria has left tens of thousands of people in need of food according to the WFP. The WFP added that Baggari, southwest of Wau, has alarming rates of hunger but the insecurity in the area makes it hard to reach the people to provide them with aid. When they were able to access Baggari for a brief moment last month, the WFP said they found the rate of acute malnutrition was about 25% as compared to the 4% earlier this year.2 Civil society calls for focus on peace implementation The South Sudan Civil Society Forum (SSCSF), which is a coalition of civil society in South Sudan, released a statement where they asked political leaders of their country to focus on the implementation of the peace agreement instead of peace celebrations. In the statement, the SSCSF recognized the achievements of the peace deal so far, such as the release of political
