France–Africa Reset: At the Africa Forward Summit in Nairobi, Emmanuel Macron announced €23bn in investments aimed at energy transition, digitalisation and agriculture, pitching “co-investment” over aid—while the optics took a hit when he publicly scolded a noisy youth forum, a viral moment that undercut the “partnership” message. Regional Integration: Sierra Leone’s Agenda 2063 push stressed aligning national budgets with continental priorities and building unified markets to speed delivery. Nigeria Security Politics: ADC hopeful Mohammed Hayatu-Deen vowed to set up a terrorism court and overhaul intelligence coordination if elected, arguing insecurity and poverty feed each other. South Africa Governance: South Africa’s ANC Youth League said convicted politicians can’t demand Ramaphosa resign after the Phala Phala-related court ruling. Energy & Industry: Zambia’s Itimpi Phase II (136MW) solar plant went live, and Kenya Airways signed an MoU for Africa’s first SAF refinery. Digital Rights: AU officials urged ratification of the Malabo cybersecurity and data protection framework.
