Representing Africa are two heads of states and two bloggers. The former — from South Africa and Ethiopia — are not really interesting, at least like latter — from Nigerian and Kenya, who will try and live blog the event as the leaders of the world’s major economies and of global economic financial institutions (G20) start their London Summit today.

Sokari Ekene (Nigeria) blogs at Black Looks and Daudi Were (Kenya) at Mentalacrobatics have been accredited and on ground.

Daudi wrote earlier today:

“Arriving in London this morning and making my way by tube from Heathrow to Westminster … was notable only in that it was uneventful, none of the chaos that has been hyped to a ridiculous level by people with various agendas.”

A view echoed by Sokari as well:

“A great deal of rubbish is being broadcast on the protests which are peaceful and where there are scuffles it is because the police are penning people in and generally being heavy handed.”

Daudi asks some questions worth repeating here:

So who speaks for Africa here?

Or even – should Africa be speaking here? Should Africa want to be involved in the G20?
