🌍 "Economic alliances are instruments of power." With that single sentence, His Excellency @oliguinguema, President of the Gabonese Republic, framed his intervention at the Africa CEO Forum Annual Summit in Kigali.
🇪🇺 His method was a mirror held up to Europe. Look closely, the President argued, at how the continent next door was rebuilt after the war. A common currency, the euro. A common visa regime under Schengen. Genuine free movement of people and goods across borders that were once impassable. A continental aerospace champion in Airbus. A flag carrier turned cross-border group in @airfrance -@KLM. Coordinated industrial policy on steel, manufacturing and a Common Agricultural Policy that has shaped European agribusiness for more than half a century. The list is not a tribute, it is evidence.
🛡️ The only domain Europe deliberately kept national, Oligui Nguema noted, is defence. Sovereignty stops at the army. Everywhere else, integration won because integration paid.
🌍 The lesson he drew for Africa is uncompromising. If economic alliances are how Europe became a global power, then a continent of 54 fragmented markets, separate currencies, parallel airlines and uncoordinated industrial policies is structurally locked out of that same power. Africa must build its own alliances, its own continental champions, its own pooled industrial strategies. Not as imitation, but as a sovereign answer to a proven equation.
🇷🇼 The question Kigali is putting on the agenda this week is not whether Africa knows what to do. The blueprint is there, written in another continent's history. The question is whether African leaders will finally act on it together.

La Secrétaire générale de la #Francophonie, @LMushikiwabo, a assisté à la session présidée par le Premier ministre de la Côte d’Ivoire, Robert Beugré Mambé, consacrée aux enjeux d’investissement en Côte d’Ivoire, en marge de l’#ACF2026 à Kigali.
La Côte d’Ivoire y a affirmé une ambition claire : passer d’une économie d’exportation à une économie de transformation, en faisant émerger des champions locaux, avec un secteur privé appelé à être non seulement partenaire de l’État, mais aussi un véritable moteur de croissance et de passage à l’échelle.
