Ghana’s favored son may be leaving peace talks to the Kenyans to sort out themselves, after the discovery of a listening device planted in his room. Kofi Annan was furious to discover that his conversations in his room at Serena Hotel were potentially being recorded.

“These shenanigans will not be tolerated!” he cried.  “This is disrepect at its utmost, and it will not be tolerated.”

Mr Annan had all but boarded his personal chopper in abandonment of his peace mission when security detail revealed some important news: Who ever planted the bug had forgotten to install batteries. 

His chief of security said only this:

“Fortunately, TIA (This Is Africa). Batteries and electronics are very difficult to come by, and so it is a good thing that most people here only put a half hearted effort into anything they do.”

Although recommitted to the peace process, Mr. Annan is not quite sure where he’s going to sleep for the remainder of his stay. He was recently seen walking about the streets of the capital with his pillow in hand.
