President Emmanuel Macron on Monday aims to promote France’s new approach to Africa at the inauguration of the Africa Forward Summit in Kenya, which is being held for the first time in an Anglophone country. The French leader is meeting 450 young people from across the continent and France, who are set to share their ideas for the future of the African continent. Watch FRANCE 24’s live coverage of the event.
Finally, Macron is taking the Africa Forward Summit to an Anglophone country like Kenya. Hope this means more real partnerships, not just French interests.
450 young entrepreneurs from across Africa and France—sounds promising, but I’ll believe Macron’s ‘new approach’ when I see concrete actions, not just speeches.

Great to see France engaging with young African innovators. But let’s remember past summit promises; follow-through is key.
Why is Macron meeting entrepreneurs instead of addressing trade barriers and visa issues that actually affect young Africans?
Live coverage of a summit again? Hope FRANCE 24 actually asks tough questions about France’s economic footprint in Africa, not just air the handshakes.
