by Peter MutaiNAIROBI, Jan. 26 () -- Majority of tweets in Africa are made by young people from their mobile devices, thus driving the growth of Twitter Africa, a new research reveals.The study, How Africa Tweets, says African Twitter users aged 20-29 are active across a range of social media, including Facebook, YouTube, Google+ and LinkedIn.The research by Portland Communications and Tweetminster also found that Twitter is helping to form new links within the continent."It is clear that Africa's Twitter revolution is really just beginning," said Beatrice Karanja, associate director and head of Portland Nairobi."Twitter is helping Africa and Africans to connect in new ways and swap information and views. And for Africa -- as for the rest of the world -- that can only be good."According to the report, Twitter is becoming an important source of information in the continent with 68 percent of those polled saying they use Twitter to monitor news while 22 percent use it to search for employment opportunities.Analysts said Twitter will play a crucial role as Kenya gears toward the general elections either in December or early 2013 as it has been embraced by politicians to voter mobilization purposes.All Kenya's presidential candidates including Prime Minister Raila Odinga, Vice-President Kalonzo Musyoka and Finance Minister Uhuru Kenyatta are active Twitter users. However, the report found that the majority of African leaders or public figures have not joined the continent's growing Twitter sphere."One of the more surprising findings of this research is that more public figures have not joined Africa's burgeoning Twitter sphere," Mark Flanagan, Portland's Partner for Digital Communications said.With some notable exceptions, Flanagan said, they found that business and political leaders were largely absent from the debates playing out on Twitter across the continent. "As Twitter lifts off in Africa, governments, businesses and development agencies can really no longer afford to stay out of a new space where dialogue will increasingly be taking place," Flanagan said.Portland Communications and Tweetminster analyzed over 11.5 million geo-located Tweets originating on the continent during the last three months of 2011. The latest pan-African analysis of Twitter traffic was complemented by a survey of 500 of Africa's most active Tweeters.How Africa Tweets found that 57 percent of Tweets from Africa are sent from mobile devices and 60 percent of Africa's most active Tweeters are aged 20-29."Twitter in Africa is widely used for social conversation, with 81 percent of those polled saying that they mainly use it for communicating with friends," the report says.According to latest figures from the Communications Commission of Kenya (CCK), mobile telecommunications are driving the country's rapid internet growth. The CCK's latest telecommunications and internet report indicates that Kenya now has 14.3 million internet users, a penetration of 36.3 percent, most of them -- 75 percent -- access the internet using mobile devices.The CCK, the industry regulator, said fixed line access could be considered more expensive than mobile access, which has come within reach of more consumers due to growing competition between operators."Mobile data is poised to transform the Internet market in the country. With the number of mobile data/Internet subscriptions rising steadily over the period, this trend is likely to continue as operators leverage on emerging technologies to bring new offerings to the market to meet user demands," said the CCK report.The How Africa Tweets study found that South Africa is the continent's most active country by volume of geo-located Tweets, with about 5 million tweets during the fourth quarter of 2011 followed by Kenya which had 2.5 million tweets. The report also says Nigeria (1.65 million), Egypt (1.21 million) and Morocco (745,620) make up the remainder of the top five most active countries.According to How Africa Tweets, the majority of those surveyed said that at least half of the Twitter accounts they follow are based on the continent.The CCK says it expects to see intense competition continuing as operators seek to diversify their services in an effort to grow their revenue margins.The CCK says another telecoms trend is for mobile users to favor text messages as a means of communication. The number of SMS messages sent between July and September last year rose to 1.5 billion, an increase of 134 percent over the previous quarter. Mobile phone money transfer services are also growing in popularity, with four out of five new mobile phone subscribers signing up to use mobile money transfer services too.
MOSCOW/DAMASCUS, March 26 () -- Russia has supported UN-Arab League joint envoy Kofi Annan for his effort in helping resolve peacefully Syria's year-long political crisis.At the same time, Syria's government forces continue fighting opposition armed groups in several provinces.Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said Sunday that Annan's good office on Syria might be the last chance for the troubled Middle East country to avoid a civil war, and Moscow would make its contribution to a peaceful solution."The Annan mission, perhaps, is the last chance for Syria to avoid a long period civil war," Medvedev told visiting Annan."We very much appreciate your intermediary efforts in solving Syrian problems," the president said, expressing the hope that such efforts would bring about "positive results."Annan thanked Russia for its involvement in the Syria issue and support for his mission."Hopefully, we will manage to make a positive contribution to the resolution of the Syria issue with Russia's most active involvement," Annan said."Syria has an opportunity today to work with me and this mediation process to put an end to the conflict, to the fighting, allow access to those in need of humanitarian assistance as well as embark on a political process that will lead to a peaceful settlement," Annan said.Annan mapped out a six-point plan to end the violence in Syria, which includes proposals for a cease-fire initiated by the Syrian government, a daily halt in fighting for the delivery of humanitarian aid and treatment for the wounded, and talks between the government and opposition.In Syria, government forces continued raids on Sunday against armed groups in several strongholds such as Darra and Homs.The security forces raided a hideout of armed groups in southern Daraa province, killing six gunmen. And two security agents were also killed during the operation.Also in Daraa, army engineering units foiled an attempt by armed groups to bomb al-Mahajjeh bridge with six explosive devices, according to Syria's SANA news agency.The Syrian government has blamed the unrest on "terrorist groups" backed and financed by some Arab and Western countries.In northern Idlib province, two "terrorists" were killed by security forces while planting an explosive device on a main road in the Saraqeb area.Local media reported that in Homs, Syria's third largest city, army troops resumed heavy shelling of the rebel hub on Saturday.Related:Russia: UN mission to Syria offers last chance to avoid warBEIJING, March 26 (net) -- In Russia, President Dmitry Medvedev says the UN mission to Syria may be "the last chance to avoid a civil war."
