I generally avoid simple geo-news regurgitating on this blog. I want this to be a component of the interweb that explores things and their impact on people and place rather than something you can find in a thousand different places. On occasion, the poignant issues to me and the things you can find in a thousand places cross, and today's post is an example of that. Having said that, if you haven't heard about the attack at a bar in Bujumbura, google it. So few of us ever hear about stuff like this and that's a travesty. I feel it's incumbent upon me to encourage people to learn more on their own. It makes me wish I was back in seventh grade discussing current events.
It's official, South Sudan has come to Google Earth. Gone are the days of a red line border. In the eyes of Google Earth it's a bona fide yellow border country. I was quite pleased by this news. We've all been following the quest for independence and as trivial as gaining full recognition on Google Earth may seem, to me it's an awfully big deal.

And here is the article as posted on the Google lat long Blog.
Google continues to excel in Africa, both in bringing information in and working to educate people on Google's products. How cool would it be to be invited to one of these?
