Last update: 8 hours agoAfrica-France Reset in Nairobi: France’s Emmanuel Macron is in Kenya for the Africa Forward Summit, pitching a €23bn investment push across energy, AI and agriculture and stressing “sovereignty” and “co-investment” with 30 African leaders at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre. Backlash and competing alliances: Critics say the summit is a “puppeted” reset, while Nigerian activist Timi Frank urges leaders to reject new France deals and deepen ties with the US—pointing to Sahel states that have turned away from Paris. Sahel context: The meeting comes as France’s influence has been strained after withdrawals and expulsions in Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger, with Russia’s security role and media influence also in the spotlight. Other notable reads: A separate report links mosquito attraction to smell, heat and CO2; and Burkina Faso’s junta has been targeting imported music in a push for local content.
