  Footage of the South Sudanese president Salva Kiir apparently urinating on himself at an official event has sparked an online debate across Africa about his ability to lead the country, and the ethics of sharing the incident on social media.
  There have been concerns over Kiir's long rule: he has been in power since independence in 2011, and South Sudan has not held an election since.
  "Some of us have being so concerned about the health of Pres Kiir, instead some people called us enemies of peace & state," tweeted Wani Michael, a South Sudanese civil society activist, who accused Kiir's loyalists of letting him down by not encouraging him to leave office.
