Africa-Forward Summit in Nairobi: French President Emmanuel Macron arrived in Kenya for a two-day France–Africa summit with 30 African leaders, pitching €23bn in investment and a shift from aid to “shared” business and security partnerships, while also defending Europe’s role and pushing back on claims of “predatory” influence. Diplomacy Meets Friction: The summit is already drawing backlash, including protests and a tense youth forum moment where Macron cut off noisy delegates, underscoring how hard it is to reset France’s image. Sahel Security, Niger State Fallout: In Nigeria’s Niger State, a father says three children were killed in a military airstrike in Shiroro, while Nigeria’s Defence HQ denies civilian deaths and insists strikes hit bandit enclaves. Regional Security Debate: Analyst Jonathan Onaja argues Nigeria must deepen Sahel-wide cooperation and intelligence-sharing with neighbours, not rely mainly on distant partners. Education Pressure: ASUU warns another strike could hit universities over “distorted” implementation of the 2025 agreement. Immigration Spotlight: Anti-West activist Kemi Seba told a South African court he fears death if returned to Benin as his asylum case continues.
