“Sometimes going back is moving forward.” That Ghanaian proverb captures the tension that hung over the Africa Forward Summit in Nairobi. The summit was presented as a reset in Africa–France relations.
Held in Nairobi and co-hosted by William Ruto and Emmanuel Macron, it focused on the familiar language of the future. Innovation, energy, agriculture, investment, and youth opportunity dominated the agenda. President Macron pledged billions of euros in support for energy and agricultural development. He spoke repeatedly about a new partnership with Africa based on equality, mutual interest, and shared prosperity.
