Politics or Transaction?

When do political decisions have business consequences?

JJ Cornish and Gareth talk about recent developments, including French President Emmanuel Macron recognising Moroccan autonomy over Western Sahara, skipping all the normal steps in such a momentous move because he does not have a government to go to.

The EU, the UN, and a plethora of French political parties have slammed Macron's move.

The DRC reached a deal with Rwanda over stopping 30 months of deadly warfare in Eastern Congo. Can the reality of a renewal of the Hutu-Tutsi conflict hold? Nigeria's Gen X protests against the Abuja government have cost at least 13 lives.

They are inspired by their counterparts in Kenya and Uganda, who are taking to the streets. President Bola Tinubu urges the rioters to desist and engage in talks with his government.
