“Trump’s influence is ALL over #China-#Italy deals. 1) They can’t depend on US unpredictable foreign policy so they must look elsewhere. 2) They’re trying Trump’s formula of ‘Italy first’ to the chagrin of #EU countries.” -C.Dark @RCCommsDC @cgtnamerica #XiVisit #BeltandRoad

Al Jazeera: Algeria’s #Bouteflika isn’t running for a 5th term, but what’s next?
“Today’s announcement that #Bouteflika won’t run for a 5th term in Algeria is sort of a win for Algerians but not a complete victory because no one knows who can (or will be allowed to) step into power. What’s clear from the massive protests is that the Algerian people want a modern, visionary leader. While there’s no a consensus of who that will be, it’s clearly not #Bouteflika.” – Calvin Dark, Principal & Co-founder, RC Communications, Al Jazeera
#NetworkAfrica: Is Bouteflika’s proposal genuine or just a ploy to stay in power in Algeria?
“The proposal by whoever wrote the letter for #Bouteflika that “if he wins” he’ll convene a nat’l conversation on constitutional reforms for new elections where he won’t run in 1 year is a farce. Why not do it now? 1yr will turn into 5 then to 10.”-Calvin Dark/@TalesDarkSide, @channelstv #NetworkAfrica
The World Today: Will ailing Algerian Pres. Bouteflika be able to actually run for a 5th term?
“#Algerians are protesting because it’s past time to bring #Algeria into the 21st century. Pres #Bouteflika — if he even realizes that he’s president — lacks the health & vision to be the leader that Algerians are looking for.” -Calvin Dark (@talesdarkside), Principal & Co-founder, RC Communications
Trump/Kim Hanoi Summit: What Happened?
“Pres. Trump rightly walked away from a bad deal w/#KimJongun in #Hanoi, but the larger problem is that he even walked in the room before a deal was worked out by his diplomats. There was no art to this deal.”- Calvin Dark (@TalesDarkSide) #vietnam #northkorea @channelstv
