Interesting that Macron didn’t address the recent coup in Niger during his FRANCE 24 interview—kind of a glaring omission given the summit’s focus on Africa’s future.

The €400 million pledge for African startups sounds great, but I worry it’s just another top-down initiative that won’t reach local entrepreneurs in rural areas.
