Seth Doane has an excellent piece out today (Facebook, YouTube, and embed below) on foreign perspectives on the Capitol riot, insurrection, whatever: rebellion to be named later. The story mentions the Kenyan headline, "Who's the banana republic now?" I wish only to add that it's not the first time for such cheekiness, recalling Colombia's Publimetro cover from November 6 (Guardian). I've no doubt that there are plenty of "s***hole" gibes going on in Africa, too.
