Shifting Sands

In this week's episode, Gareth and JJ Cornish delve into the significant impact of the British and French elections on Africa. Will Africa's growing economic significance continue to be recognized, or will migration remain the dominant issue on the agenda?

We also explore the recent political shifts in West Africa, where the coup-affected nations of Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso are forming a confederation and considering leaving the regional grouping Westcon. Senegal's President Faye takes on the challenging task of persuading them to stay.

Lastly, we turn our focus to Kenya, where President William Ruto grapples with the aftermath of intense protests by the younger generation. Facing the withdrawal of tax hikes, he proposes budget cuts to stabilize the nation. Join us as we analyze these critical developments and their broader implications for Africa and the world.
